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.

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.
Dear B and Hiya All, I hope you are feeling a bit better and it's really good to from hear you. I hope we do keep posting here as it is helping me to keep going. I see a therapist so I would say it's a good idea to get support . It has helped me with what I would say was a shopping addiction, mental...
