Hi hun, I also have borderline, querying Bipolar and alcohol issues. I have also done DBT so I can relate to your issues! I have found DBT an absolute life saver -literally. I am still having issues with alcohol though. I agree with what you've said about alcohol getting in the way of stability. Alcohol personally increases my self harm and suicidal behaviours. My DBT therapist has said he feels it is hindering my ability to improve and has said he won't see me again until I've stopped drinking for 2 wks! I'm gutted but do appreciate this as it is making me stop and look at things properly. I love my DBT because it helps, so it is good motivation for me. I know my Therapist is right so I am currently sat here writing this shaking and sweating and trying to get through it for 'the greater good'!!!

Good luck chick xx
