welcome be prepared for posts complaining about ocd being used as a joke a lot of people dont like when people say things my ocd kicked in when i cleaned my kitchen i hate it too but oh well i guess   i am also in recovery for drug an alcohol addiction and am involved in aa    i take venlafaxine and gabapentin i talk with a psychiatrist monthly about ocd but have never meet with a therapist or found any sort of support group    i still struggle with ocd but it is much more controlled now the consequences of my behavior have been much easier to live with
