Hi Weasel, I've only read the OP, not the responses yet, but good job on taking care of your own needs and not turning to the drink. Very wise move.

As usual, your eloquence amazes me Ken. I've always been so happy you are here. It was brave to take part in that session.

This book is very informative, if you Google it you'll find it's available as a pdf.

I can remember watching a fascinating documentary on this topic some years ago. It was made in Britain but I can't remember if it was British or Australian. I haven't turned it up on Google so if anyone knows what it's called please post in this thread.

Thank you for all the kindness and support. It means more than you know.

I have to say that I still feel the effects from Friday. I did nothing this weekend. I am so grateful for each and every one of you. I have to shake this. I watched hours of Netflix yesterday in an effort to not go anywhere. I will be better when I can go to work tomorrow. Routine. I have a class I need to deliver Thursday so I will set my mind on that.

I also got that book Dee recommended so I think I will read that today.

Ken, Thank you for sharing your heartfelt story.

Yet another post of yours to enter in my journal to read and reflect when I hit a big road block in my Sober life.

You help so many with your articulate and insightful posts and I'm glad you are taking good care of you right now.

Take care!
