Going on day 15 feeling pretty darn good. I just need some help on reading material, I read drinking a love story really liked it, I would appreciate it if you guys could recommend more good reads. It seems to really help, thanks

Backtender, a book that really helped me early on was "Under the Influence." There's a lot in there to explain the physiology of an alcoholic, why our bodies and minds react a certain way to alcohol. I was able to check it out from the college library, and I'm sure there are copies floating around most public libraries.

There are excerpts from the book in the alcoholism forum. Check the link below, read through the excerpts and see if the book sounds good for you:

Also, you can order it from Amazon for only $7.99 (4.5 stars out of 5)
Amazon.com: Under the Influence: A Guide to the Myths and Realities of Alcoholism…

Congrats on your day 15. I think anybook on meditation or relaxation techniques can be really helpful practical tools.
