Default Hi Everyone

I'm a 51yr. old guy with some issues. I've just been diagnosed with alcohol neuropathy ( nerve damage ). I have major depression & I'm Bulimic. I also have lost most of the use of my right arm due to a fall. I have been sober for a month. I'm trying to hang on as I'm by myself. Sorry for whining. I just want to be a part of a " community ". Thank You
