New Here
Thank you for all I have found on here. After 41 years in recovery from addictions and using 12 step program that could not get to the bottom of what was wrong with me, i started getting panic attacks and different kinds of flashbacks, to traumatic situations, indecided for the first time to try therapy and the organisation referred me to Pete walkers books and told me they’d seen me in them. I have been in therapy for 13 weeks, I really needed the help. I am an isolator, I was a silent child even though physically able to speak, I could not bring myself to outside of the home I was almost silent until years in recovery and I have been unable to engage with my recovery fellowship online. I can listen but I have not connected with anyone on there
My parents were both depressed when I was born and during childhood it was very quiet and I suffered terrible insecurity and fears of abandonment... at 12, I was given high doses of tranquillisers and sleeping drugs and at 15 injecting heroin and anything else I could put into my body. I was a junkie for nine years doing whatever it took to get what I needed and along the way, I was in a lot of traumatising situations, being imprisoned quite a few times, hostaged, abducted, and in and out out various institutions including prison, and l
psychiatric hospital
In recovery I have found it hard to speak in any recovery fellowship I am still an isolator, and i rarely let anyone know about my past but the people on here sound something like me... I identify with so much that is on here and I don’t want to be a secret anymore
