Games
 

Yesterday, I bought and read a copy of Eric Berne's "Games People Play". I haven't yet formed a strong opinion on it - I think I need to give it a few more reads first. Whilst looking for background info, I came upon the following link.

(you need to follow the link on the bottom of the first page to read the full text - it's pretty long)

I would be interested to know others' thoughts on this. I hope I'm not treading on any toes here through my attempts at understanding.

Hello
 

My thoughts?
Nothing ndefinative or new about his work. Maybe I missed something?

I wasn't putting it forward as something new, just an approach that I don't often see discussed on these boards.

Hi Minnie

Someone bought me this for christmas just gone. I am unlikely to read it. I will be interested in yours or anyone elses view if it's read. I don't like the look of it, but I know this is my predjudice which I can't really back up.

Hello Minnie...

I think one should keep searching until they find recovery.
I do not judge how they arrive there.


However :)

Let me share with you what finally got me sober.

In his book ‘Under The Influence’ Dr. James Milam states

the liver does not process alcohol correctly in alcoholics.

I took that info...coupled with a commitment to AA...

And have stayed sober since 89. Eureka!!


Could other ways have worked for me? I have no idea.
What path will be yours? I have no idea.

Hope you find a way :wave:
