I have just signed up to the site through despeartion as there are no meetings near to me. I can't believe how addiction can take hold of you, I have always tried really hard at work and to love my family. But my compulsions are taking over me, my thoughts, my actions, my mind, my body, my work, my family. I would like to think I am ready for the twelve steps but if anyone has ideas or coping strategies I'd be most grateful.

Thanks
Alexis
