Pathway, I have found help and inspiration in all sorts of places, often completely unlooked-for. It's almost like once you've tuned your "inner radio" to recovery, you start receiving signals from EVERYWHERE.

If anyone here mentions a book they found useful, I add the name to my list and then check my library for it. If I start reading it and it doesn't speak to me, I just return it and move on to the next one. And maybe a week or a month or a year or 5 down the road, it WILL speak to me. Or maybe never. I just started listening to a CD from Pema Chodron, and THIS time it is touching me. I've tried her a few times in the past and that has not been the case--I wasn't then at a place where I was ready or able to learn what she's talking about, I guess.

But I just don't think you can go wrong by reading/listening to ANYTHING that seems like it might be helpful. Just remember that you can always put it down or turn it off if it seems it's not for you, or not right now.
