Introducing Myself

I'm a 47 year old female from Australia,I've been clean of alcohol and codeine for 74 days now.I was sexually abused by my brother who was 10 years older than me at the ages of 7 to 10 so I used the substance abuse as a way to fog my brain so I didn't have to deal with the guilt and other issues related to the abuse,now with a clear brain every memory is back x 10,So I'm back in therapy just to try and cope with my feelings and thoughts,Is there anyone else dealing with some of the same issues, there doesn't seem to be any forum for incest victims-yes 40 years later I still feel like a victim.
