I am most definitely an addict. I know this may sound crazy but 6 months after being diagnosed with BP2 I became addicted to opiates, gambling and sex. I'm not proud of any of them and they have cost me dearly in many ways. I still struggle everyday but within the last 2 weeks it's time for a change because I'm tired of not feeling in control of my urges. I bought a juice extractor and juice regularly and joined a health club. With the help and support of my girlfriend I'm giving it one more try on my own and if this doesn't work I'm going into treatment. I never really felt comfortable talking about my addictions because I simply didn't want to be judged. But I know that life for me and others will be a lot less complicated and a lot more enjoyable. I'm thankful that you did this survey because at least it allowed me to open up and admit things I have been hiding for years.
