Help
(Preview)
Can someone help me please? I am extremely new at this. A week ago I was fine, and now I need help. I am all alone and no one knows. I am in Dallas and really need someone to talk to. What do I do? This is the first place I found online and thought I'd try. Thanks.

Need To Share

I had a very difficult time relationship wise this last one week. I had acted out on my anger to such extent that I ended up damaging my wife's laptop last week. I was shocked about my behavior the next day morning and felt exactly the way I had felt when I woke up the next morning after my last relapse.....
