Alcohol Recovery Without 12 Steps Community Group
This group was created to explore various recovery paths for Alcoholism. We generally chose to explore paths outside of the AA model, or ones which incorporate, but are not limited to AA. Anyone wanting to learn and explore how to become free from alcohol addiction are welcome. Our main goal is to support each other with compassion and decency, while remaining open minded...
I am learning a lot here, and I thank each and everyone of you for the great support you give! I was wondering if anyone knows of any over the counter vitamins that can help with the anxiety and restlessness I experience when I go sober for a couple of days. I feel if I can level this "swing" my self-recovery will be emotionally easier.

Not sure about vitamins, but their are herbs that have claims of helping you sleep better. Anxiety is a hard one to deal with, and I'm still struggleing with is even with meds. I know alcoholics are often vitamin B deficient. I need to take those early in the day because they add to my nightime anxiety if I take them late. If you find anything out please let us know.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
