Just Joined Today
Hello...I joined because I have recently been having issues with avoiding using drugs even though I have not used in more than 15 years.
I have been in treatment for the last three years for Bipolar Disorder and PTSD which I pretty much self medicated for with drugs and alcohol all my adult life.
I had broken off all contact with my family members 4 years ago because it was an extremely dysfunctional and negative situation, however recently made contact again because my my mother was in poor health when I broke contact and I was feeling guilty about leaving things off on a bad note with her.
She is now in a nursing home in very poor health and not expected to live much longer. That situation along with the fact that a drug dealer lives in my building are contributing to the temptation to use again.
I am hoping to find some practical tools and resources here to help with that.
Thanks
