Recovery-World Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ( OCD) is a meeting place for sharing and helping others in the recovery process through our forums, chat rooms, and email meetings.
Do
you (or a loved one) have a problem? Is there some aspect of
your life in which you are out of control, unable to "govern" yourself, where
you cannot see a solution? Is it your weight? A relationship with
another person-- a parent, spouse or child? Are you unable to handle
your money or live on a budget? Do you clean and control your environment too
much--trying desperately to make things or people's lives perfect?
Doing so all in the name of what is right, of serving others?
You
promise you'll never do it again! You promise you'll never overeat again, never throw up again, never write bad checks again, never yell
at the kids for no reason again, never look at pornography again, never take
another pill again, never make another wager, never, never, never! You promise
God, yourself and anyone who will listen that you'll never repeat your destructive
behavior. And you are sincere -- heartbreakingly sincere. But
repeat them you do. And you do. And you do. Day after endless
day, your life repeats itself. You are caught in a cycle of repentance and
relapse. You are in bondage.
You may have a compulsion or an
addiction, and we are here, and together we can help each other survive
the nightmare existence of the compulsion obsession.
