Thanks for the welcome's, glad to know I'm in the right place, that in itself is a recovery tool for me.
I'll spend some time having a good browse round all topics, see if there's anything that I can use to help me.
I don't intend to just do nothing this time round. Luckily I have a strong sense of spirituality and I read a lot about that. I particularly the teachings of Buddhism and I'm currently reading about Buddhism and the 12 steps.
I am a solitary soul and need my solitude, which is why AA was not for me.
Anyway I look forward to getting to know everyone
