What's the Blog many of you recommend?
Hi everyone,
There's a blog I've noticed many of you recommend, but I can't remember the name.
I did find "CynicalOne"'s blog, and it is excellent. Full of excellent articles on Codependency, Red-Flags, Abuse, etc. etc.
But I can't remember the other one, which sounds good.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!!!!!

Its not a blog, but I recommend this site to everyone. It was created under a partnership with National Institute of Drug Abuse, and has lots of info and is very easy to read: HBO: Addiction

I can most definitely say this is NOT the blog you are referring to, but nevertheless, it is my all-time favorite. It happens to be an AA blog, but the guy who writes it (who goes to great pains to conceal his identity and that of anyone who writes to him or about whom he writes--going so far as to refer to people as "them" to avoid identifying anyone even by sex) is amazing.
He has sponsored people in AA for many years, and has many years of recovery. His blog, which is billed as an "AA sponsor blog" is often hysterically funny, sometimes moving, always wise. If you want to see what real recovery is all about for the alcoholic, and how tough and mundane and ridiculous it can all sometimes be, I highly recommend that you surf around it a bit: "Mr. Sponsorpants".

Thanks Dear Friends...I've checked the sites and blogs you mention. GOOD STUFF!! THANKKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUU!
I'm still looking for the one that started me on this thread though. I'm pretty certain the name starts with a "B". I KNOW I've seen it recommended recently at least twice!!! ARG! It's driving me nuts!

But I like that I've collected a nice little bunch of resources!
