    I have started a page on my other blog on the role of trauma and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in addictive behaviours. This is a condition very close to my heart, literally.  http://insidethealcoholicbrain.com/ptsd/ For me PTSD is one “co-occurring” condition which has greatly contributed to  my overall alcoholism and the…

    The Pages in this Blogsite (in the left menu) are mainly for the head and the blogs have increasingly come to be more about the heart of recovery  – in fact we believe that recovery can only be fully explained via the  language of the heart to use Bill Wilson’s phrase.…

    When I need a spiritual “tune up” I go back to basics. I up my meditation, go to more AA meetings and go to chapel more regularly. I have over the last few years drifted away from what I used to do in terms of my recovery. I took time…
