I hope you have better and better recovery experiences as you go along your addiction treatment journey.
I am reading that book right now that Tiburon mentioned. I feel like a drink tonight, but reading that book is really giving me some insight into things (maybe that's why I feel like a drink! I see myself too much in the stories). It's tough to read (from an emotional standpoint), as I relate to so much of it. At the same time, just another tool in the old toolbox and I am going to really take some time and process it. I think it's super important to look at the "whys" and the "what's" going on inside when the urge to drink comes up. What do you think about this?

I think looking at the 'whys' 'whats' and 'wherefores' - and especially the past consequences- of taking that drink has saved my bacon more than once Katie.
Any recovery tool that works is a good one IMO
Good for you.
