Yeah, the forum is a great resource. DesertEyes, one of the forum leaders, gives plenty of links. Here is one maybe helpful:

Sorry you're having a bad day today, Davey. I've been disabled since I was a year old (polio). Now I deal with post-polio syndrome. It has its challenges to be sure, with muscle pain management and weakness. I have empathy for you. Hang in there.
There are many ways to manage pain, and have a quality life which includes sobriety, so please be re-affirmed, knowing that returning to drinking as a management tool does not have to be any kind of an answer anymore. Don't settle for same old same old. There are better effective choices to make.
Have a look at the link, if you haven't already.
