Hello | New Here

[Suffering]

-Originally diagnosed in 1992, (sibling suicide)
-2nd diagnosis after an accident in 2002, participant in University research for PTSD which included mindfulness meditation therapies -worked well for me at the time.
-Toxic relationship, that resulted in 5 year cancer battle and really bad end of life death at home -3 years ago
-Night terrors
-Was just diagnosed with Complex -PTSD and Alcohol addiction
-In process of starting two recovery programs 1.Alcohol 2.Trauma Recovery, with DBT (have never tried DBT only CBT and EMDR) + 12 week mindfulness group meditation
-Just started naltrexone, and holy smokes batman...what a difference in soothing my alcohol craving and nervous system trauma response feelings...*my family won't speak to me now due to my poor behaviour as an addict and trauma responses.

Anyway, glad to have found this forum and will be including a daily check in here as part of my recovery.

I wish you all much support and thank you for having me here.
