My thanks to the creators of Alanon and Recovery!!!
I'm so glad to see you using these tools in your life. I'm sorry you're going through it.
And sadly, I lost a car once. Granted I eventually found it, but it was lost because of my crazy addiction. Amazingly, I didn't quit drinking until years later. I was quite young when that happened and I just didn't think it was a big deal.
