      After being clean for over 7 yrs, I sometimes will become frustrated with my feelings and then say things I regret.

      Treatments

      12 step groups, coed and men meetings, have been extremely helpful for me. I also have done major, intense regression therapy with my therapist for 12 yrs.

      When I download music such as Neil Young, Eddie Vedder, Pink Floyd, Madonna, Modest Mouse, The Cure, Silversun Pickups..I just become serene.
