If you like what you see, order the SMART Recovery handbook. If you're interested in face to face meetings, see what the status of those is in your area. These days, some areas have a whole bunch of meetings while some areas have none. There are always the online meetings and forums though, even if you can't get to face to face meetings.
You mentioned the Tolle book. I haven't read that myself. I'm kind of "over" the self-help book thing. I read nothing BUT such books for a few years and reached a saturation point. But I've heard good things about that, and Alan Carr's book The Easy Way to Quit, also.
Thanks OTT, I'm going to read both and see what I think.
Thanks for the SMART info too. I@m not chat room fan either!I will have a look at the website
Thank you all for your feedback and help
