Hello again e-sangha!

While this is Reddit and I know we'd all like to remain as anonymous as possible, but:

In an attempt to revitalize this sub and to rebuild an online community, let's get to know one another! If you'd like to be more active on this sub, and you'd like to make a wise friend or two as we move forward in whatever it is this may be come, please tell us a little about yourself.

I'm u/Bipolar-Who. I'm almost 6 months sober from alcohol and all other drugs. If I had to identify a primary process addiction, it'd definitely be love and sex and just generally needing to have a partner/be in a relationship. I live in Pennsylvania but grew up mainly in North Carolina. I went to a PHP and then IOP treatment program in February of this year but it was very 12-steppy and until becoming better familiar with RD I was still struggling considerably with finding meaning or purpose and managing myself emotionally. I don't struggle with many cravings these days but I do get sad a lot and when I get sad I sometimes remember how having a drink used to help. As my handle suggests I have bipolar II but even that's up for debate with my new psychiatrist. I'm trying to attach myself to labels less, and find a sense of purpose and community everywhere I go instead. So far it's (kinda sorta) working.

Hope to chat with some of yall soon! And if you have any wants or needs or suggestions re: this sub moving forward, feel free to share those too.
