Hey @Former-Member tech issues can definitely be frustrating - feel free to email us via team@saneforums.org if you need technical support. If you do, feel free to provide a brief description of what is going wrong, or some screenshots if you can.

Thanks @Jynx 

Not sure what happened. My messages just disappeared. No ones fault. I don't usually say much on the forums. It's funny that when I did, messages disappeared. It doesn't matter. Thanks though. 🤗

Do you use your phone @Former-Member or a computer? I use solely my phone and it can be a challenge but I can do my best to guide you if you use a phone 😊

[Former-Member]

I use my phone. But tonight I can't concentrate on anything. But thanks @Anastasia  

My laptop needs repairing. I lent it to someone and now it won't work. Not to worry. It's ok. 💖

Big hugs @Anastasia 

I understand. I was a carer for my sister years ago and taking her to work was work on top of work. Even though we love them so much, it's draining. Sleep well. 🤗💖

Thanks for your message @ButterflyBeauty 

I'm so pleased that you have been sober for so long. Good on you. It takes strength and determination. 
I didn't drink for years, then too many dramas happened at the same time, so I drank again. I haven't been able to find a medication that helps me (CPTSD) etc....  But recently found a different doctor who understands. I'm trying a different medication, something I didn't think I would do. The other meds have made me feel worse.
So far, they seem to be helping.  Just need to stop the alcohol addiction. I researched alot about addiction and now I'm not so ashamed. 
I actually went to 2 AA meetings. Never ever thought I'd go there, how embarrassing.  They are so lovely, caring and understanding. All sorts of people. A man in a suit and tie, all sorts. 
I can finally admit that I have a problem with drinking and so do many others. And they all felt ashamed at one stage. Intelligent, professional people are struggling with alcohol. 

I tried hard to send a link regarding the 30 day experiment @TAB No success.  If you google The or this naked mind and enquire about the 30 day experiment, they'll help you. It's so informative. Wish I'd heard it years ago.
