You have certainly come to the right place. There is usually someone that can very much relate. I have high anxiety and am basically addicted to a BENZO. Sometimes I like to read as there are tons of bursts of hope on the site too. Welcome to the group. If you are ever ready to share, folks will be here to support.

Welcome Hal3y. You've joined a good group. We're all struggling together and this is a great place to vent. If you can, tell us more about yourself and what you are going thru. 🥰

What is your co-occurring addiction issue? If it’s booze or drugs, there is a Drink Free community on HU, you may want to explore

Hi Hal3y

I struggle with addiction too and it goes along with my depression and anxiety. I’m always looking for a way to escape the pain. I’ve been clean and sober off substances for 12 years but I use other things (like food and shopping). I don’t know if you are trying to get clean/sober but I understand how painful it can be either way. Good job reaching out! 12 steps meetings can be helpful too. You are never alone! Hugs
