GW, I hope you are still doing okay.
Threshold made a comment about family, and it relates to our inspirational reading this morning from Native Wisdom for White Minds*. It was about community, saying that Western cultures place too much emphasis on the nuclear family, and this results in "individuals who are not getting their needs met." Well, NA (or AA) will fill this void for you--it provides a recovery community.
GW, you should put as much time and effort into your recovery as you put into using and getting drunk. Let us know how you are doing.
Thanks!
