Hi everyone,

Just wanted to pop in and say thank you for all the support I have received here. I am struggling with the "forever" of not drinking and caved and drank on the weekend, my ocd was out of control and I drank. Well, I felt fine, didn't go overboard and get drunk and I didn't feel guilty. I experience more obsessions than complulsions, so I was becoming obsessed with the number of days not drinking and being accountable..well to sum it all up my mind went into overload.

I am going to continue my journey, but need to take care of the stress that is causing my ocd to rear its ugly head.

Thank you to all, and good luck in your journey...

Glad you checked in, have you been diagnosed OCD?

I know I had an obsession with alcohol, that obsession was lifted for me but it took work on my part.

I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but know that I have ocd also, it is undeniable when it flares. I also have a form of PTSD, so I need to deal with these first before I can tackle the forever of not drinking. It's not that I want to drink, I don't and I am not going to go back to it full force, just don't want it to be constantly on my mind. I have started going to a naturopath and exercising again - I cannot tolerate the meds that I get prescribed so going the natural route. I need to focus on one thing at a time or else nothing works..
