Hi Maisi,

I wanted to say that I agree with talking to your therapist about this. I must admit I'm in recovery from alcohol and shopping addictions. From experience the alcohol was a problem for me even though I wasn't drinking high units.

Hi Betterinrecovery!

I've got a cold but feeling better than my last post. I seemed to have stopped shopping so taking it easy at the moment watching films and cat sitting for my Mum.

I must admit when I joined here I joined a few other forums - maybe to address different problems, but also to try out different forums. Can't really say I've got the hang of them yet but I am e...

Hi Moonshadow,

I agree with the last post. Also I wondered if there is anywhere you could go to meet other people, such as a mind drop-in or a support group for people recoverring from cancer.

Kind regards,
