I think it is foolhearty to discount the self-medicating..self-nurturing...relationship we had with alcohol. The thing is....it was a self defeating...toxic...isolating...vicscious problem-creating remedy.
Alcohol readily available, convenient "solution" to that which ails us. There are much more, life giving remedies. SR provides a wonderful 24/7 community. What are you thoughts on AA for more personal, face to face support. It is not the answer for everyone...
But I think we need to be open to all possible solutions in attacking this beast.
