Addiction

US national long term resident in Australia.

Two adult children, who have after Step 9 work, have let me back into their lifes.

Just recently got a dog....late arrival of intimacy. Jack is his name. Lab Kelpie cross. Jack picked up a golf ball off a course last week from two chaps putting on a green. Had to let go of some anger that afternoon !

Currently planning to visit California with my adult children in April 2007. Yosemite is one destination we are thinking of.

July 18 2008: We are off to Bali Indonesia with two other couples, and a single friend for two weeks. Contacted the GSO New York Office who were able to send me contacts for AA meetings. Feeling relief that they are there. Though I am not an alcoholic, I find going to an AA meeting settles me down and gives me some balance.

John Bradshaw's "THE FAMILY",

Patrick Carnes "Out of the Shadows", and "Facing the Shadow".

Building healthy friendships with men.

At present exploring a spiritual existence. Have asked a chap to be my spiritual mentor. We are doing the ALPHA program together. Interesting intellectual and emotional experience.
