Doorknob and Jen, I don't know how severe OCD I could be thought to have/have had, but I know the book "Brain Lock" by Jeffrey Schwartz (pubd Regan Books, 1996) changed my life for the better.
Thanks all, for your views and helping me see I need to be more open about my need for lifts to/from meetings.
I'm still hung up on the fact that when I drove (which I don't any more) I didn't even think of offering lifts to meetings (during my previous AA phases)!
That particular sponsor was actually quite good in many ways (like the previous ones), we fizzled out some time ago and he moved, so soon will come the fun of looking for another one again - or maybe one of my old ones ...
