Yep, alcohol has always been my stress management tool of choice. Like a child hiding under a cover, I would duck under the cover of alcohol whenever things got scary. Unfortunately, at best it never solved anything and usually it made them worse. Facing life head on is still scary, but somehow much more calm.

I apologize as I have been on a business trip and unable to touch base here very much. I did get a number from a REAL LIVE person and I have been using it - actually using it and it has made a huge difference. It is strangely empowering just to know that I am connecting, especially when I am unable to connect to the internet. I can really see where F2F support would be beneficial.

I hope everyone is doing well and staying sober!
