I used to attend AA, but they couldn't help me deal with the mental health part of my recovery and they totatally misunderstood my mental illness. So I started attending DRA, a self help group for people who self-medicated their problems using drugs and/or alcohol. For more info on DRA check out www.draonline.org I have been clean and sober now for over 3 years blaugh

Congradulations on three years! I haven't heard of DRA before, but i haven't had a problem that required their services. It's a good thing to know about though.

Argh. I self-medicate on occasion. I think it's under control. Maybe I'm in denial. It seems like it works better than all the meds I'm on. *shrug*
Props to you for being able to not self-medicate.

"my favourite pedaphile ^^" XD taht cracks me up..

I can imagine, you are just substituting one problem for another, one that you had less control over, that would lead to addiction.
