    Yes, I need to follow the steps. And I need to read the big book. Why don't I do it then? I don't know, I really don't know.

    I started off by reading the leaflets and booklets of Al-Anon cos that's all I could cope with - I don't think I could have read more than 2 sentences at a time, my head was in such confusion. I'm sure AA have similar stuff. Could you get hold of any of it?

    I was also overwhelmed by the thought of the Steps but came to realise that I only needed to look at Step One to start with. This took the pressure off me.

    There is a really good book called 'Freedom From the Bottle' - has anyone else read it?

    feelinggood, I saw you were interested in Taoism.; have you read 'The Tao of Pooh' by Benjamin Huff?

    Night all
    That's life, it's just the way it is :)

    <sigh>
    I'm bored, been up for ages, been for a walk and brought half a tree home for the fire, this is one of the only times in my life when I really fancy having a beer and a fag in the morning, odd.
    Good job the oh is here otherwise I would do it, maybe.
