I too have a dual diagnosis. I am newly sober, 5 1/2 mos. and am struggling myself. I had no idea about dual recovery anonymous. I don't think we have that where I'm from. I thank you for sharing that with me as I will look into it.
I don't feel comfortable in AA either. I've tried. I feel that when I bring up my bipolar or issues relating to alcoholism and it, that everyone just seems to brush it off. I feel like the seriousness of the situation is not really understood.
My latest run of an alcohol binge which lasted for months caused my moods to become so unstable that I ended up in the hospital with a suicide attempt. I am much better now that I have been sober for a while.
I really appreciate hearing about this new type of program and will be looking into it. Thank you!
