I'm almost 4 mos. sober, but am having a really hard time getting the bi-polar/ PTSD things stabalized. I've been going to AA/NA regularly, but feel like I'm not really part of them because I have chronic migraines and have to take medication - nothing else has worked. I'm afraid to tell anyone, I feel guilty and a fake - all I want to do is sleep to get through the days - my Psychiatrist is trying, but it takes time - has anyone been in this place?

nice to meet you, gardenheart. i am the mom of an alcoholic/addict, so i don't have any direct experience with what you're going through. all i can suggest is keep reaching out to your doc and don't give up on your meetings. 4 months sober is a great accomplishment, so feel proud and grateful.

hugs, and keep posting!

I take medication as prescribed by a doctor and I feel VERY MUCH a part of AA/NA.

And no matter what my disease tries to tell me, I am going to keep being part of the group too.

It's your choice.

Healing from trauma takes time, and a lot of steady gentleness.
Frequent mood shifts can be tiring and confusing.

Are you in therapy along with the medication?

As long as you're using the medication as prescribed, I don't see a problem.
