I haven't been working on my blog for a real long time. It's because of my OCD. My schizophrenia is under real good control. My symptoms of my OCD have been taking control of my life completely. I have started treatment for it at Mental Health services. I am receiving CBT to help me take charge of my life and get my symptoms under control. I am seeing a Psychologist who is doing my CBT.
I am determined to use real hard work to practice what I'm taught in my sessions and get my OCD under control. Once this happens I am hoping to get back to business and start writing again for my blogs and create new blogs on various subjects.
I have many interests concerning what to research, study, and write about. Not just mental illness, addiction, and alcoholism.
These things are my new years resolutions. I will use sheer determination, motivation, and hard work to succeed.
My Recovery
I have been recovering from my schizophrenia for nine years now. My life is just wonderful because of my recovery. I love life and I love being alive. I now live a life of meaning and purpose. As a result of my recovery I am a productive member of society which I wasn't when I was still ill. On December 6 this year I will be clean and sober for ten years. That's another reason why life is so good today. I am experiencing a wonder recovery from my addiction and alcoholism. The turning point in an addicts recovery is when that relentless obsession to use is taken away. My obsession to use is completely gone. Recovery is truly possible for some consumers. Not all consumers have a good recovery. That is sad news for some. Despite this most consumers do experience a wonderful recovery. I believe that the majority of consumers do recover. I am just grateful and thankful that I am one of the majority that do recover. Good luck in your own recovery
Followers
Welcome to My Blog
I'm glad that you dropped by. I hope that you will find my blog interesting and helpful. The reason for this blog is that I want to help my fellow consumers, family members of consumers, and educate the general public for the purpose of removing some of the stigma and discrimination against those with schizophrenia.
