nancy....have you considered getting the book from Passages from Passages Malibu in California in addition to your AA stuff? From what I have heard, they have some success getting people help with addiction when AA hasnt worked. They are sending the book out free right now if you call them. The ad is on TV right now when you watch the Intervention show. If you arent up to watching that show right now, I will get the phone number next Monday for you when I watch it. I see it on TV after I watch Hoarders...lol. I am trying to get up the nerve to call Hoarders on myself...sigh.
