Addict, Alcoholic..... Possibly Bi-Polar
by bobert
In Bipolar Support Forums > Introductions & Personal Stories
"Hello, My name is Robert, some call me Bob, here I'll use the handle bobert.
I have been struggling with addiction related issues for a long while. I came across this site and started to read up on bi-polar. A light went off in my head. I could be a candidate. Actually, if you examined my behaviour in the past few months, not only could I be a candidate, I might make it as president.

Werther's Chews which are indeed the most delicious little caramel chews I have ever placed on my palette in my entire life. Better than prime rib, better than honey walnut shrimp, better than app"

Hey Y'all!
I can't thank you ENOUGH, especially all of you who are newcomers to the bipolar support forum, for your posts during the past few days!
I have been laboring with a nasty virus of a kind which I always seem to get during strawberry season here in Florida. So, blame it on the strawberries, but I have simply not had the strength to particip"

Addiction--truth in support
by JR1
In General Health Forums > Addiction and Recovery
"Dear Naturegirl1,
I would like for you to know that you have helped someone to make a life-saving, life-changing choice.
After my all-out assault and my overwrought campaign for "truth rather than opinion", I thought you might appreciate some vindication for your efforts.
Thank you, and I hope you and others will continue to arise and speak, despite old curmudgeons like me.

Self-help Myth
Written by JR1
In Dual Diagnosis Support Group
"
If you're addicted, you know that mood swings
place you in a tug of war between manic and depressed. Even when you haven't
been diagnosed with a mood or behavioral disorder, the mood swings leave you
raw and vulnerable to relapse. Friends and critics will say, "Why don't
you just quit acting like that and get on with your life!? Just make up your
mind and DO it! Why can't you help YOURSELF, for a change!?"
