Yet another new beginning.
 

Once again I am at that point were I need to start with the sober time again. As I mentioned in another thread I seem to go in monthly cycles of not being able to control my drink. I have 3 weeks off and then a week of drinking. I do not drink to get "plastered" I am just in a "zone". I need to work out what my triggers are and learn how to cope better.

A am not keen on certain aspects of AA so does anyone know of any different programmes in th UK which are more secular?

spen,

I found Rational Recovery to be very helpful. You can probably get the book at the library. I don't care for all the AA bashing in it as it seems a little neurotic to me but the plan is good for me.

Check out the stickies at the top of the forums. Good info there!

Love,

Lenina

I assume most, if not all, of these operate in the UK too spen.

Thanks for the replies. I am not bashing AA, it is just not for me.

Found a SMART programme near me. Will go on Tuesday and see what it is like.

spen,

I think you'll like SMART. It seems a sound program to me. Please keep us posted on your recovery!

Love,

Lenina
