Hi everyone, I'm Kaz. I've just joined the forum and am not sure where to start. I've probably missed it, but is there a new members thread or somesuch? Or does everyone post their own new topic? Any suggestions on where to start / how to join in welcome!
As background, I am a long-time sufferer of depression. I self- medicated with alcohol for many years until I became a full-on alcoholic, but I have now been sober for nearly 4 years. I feel I have alcohol under control but my mental health is still wobbly and I'm going through a rough time at the moment. After some very dark days I've decided to try applying the 'one day at a time' approach that got me sober to managing my depression and anxiety. Would love to share with some fellow travellers.
So glad to have found this forum.

Hi @Kazzl.

just browsing the Forums here today and stumbled across your avatar.

I'd recognise that Cockatoo anywhere! Let alone the unique name.

I note you havent posted in quite a while, but that you remain a member.

You may remember me as Sherie? Or perhaps recognise my little dog Holly?

Would love to know how you are getting along these days, after your job change and BP diagnosis and everything. I really miss all the 'old mob'. Its been a really difficult 6 months since being booted by Chris.
