Dual Diagnosis Anonymous
Dual Diagnosis Anonymous mission is to serve people who struggle with both mental illness and alcoholism / addictions, reduce their suffering, and empower them to develop a successful program of recovery. We recognize that the dually diagnosed are among the highest risk of relapse of all mental health populations, but recovery is possible with the sponsorship offered by the fellowship of Dual Diagnosis Anonymous.
Recovery is Possible
Although we are of varied backgrounds, socioeconomic status, creeds, cultures, sexes, sexual orientation, color, origin, our addictions remind us we are all of the same fold. Our personal stories have a varied pattern that, in and of itself, remain uniquely our own. Yet in the larger scheme of things, we are able to notice similarities of our common experience.
Our similarities lie in our common bond of mental and emotional disorders and the obsession, compulsion and allergic reactions of addiction.
In Addition to the 12 Steps these are The First 2 of the 5 Steps of Dial Diagnosis Anonymous
- We admitted we had a mental illness in addition to our substance abuse and we accepted our dual diagnosis.
- We became willing to accept help for both of our diseases.
