BPD and addiction

I have recently learned that my BPD is directly linked to my alcoholism. The more stressful my life is the more I split and turn to alcohol to cope. On July 1st I will be one year sober. I’m happy to have enough control of myself to make it this far but lately, as my FP(favorite person) has been pulling away it's been making me split and the temptation is so real. I'm struggling, and feel alone even though I have the program I still feel so alone and empty.

Check out DBT (Dialectic behavioral therapy) for your borderline - it was specifically designed for BPD but works well with addiction and other mental disorders - saved my life !

I will have to check that out. Thank you for the suggestion.
