Thanks for the info regarding the CODA echo I'll have my Sysop request it.  
s
for the other part of this post I can understand why you don't wish to try to 
take this offline so to speak.  And like I said ont he post previous if you 
wish to talk I'm a pretty good listener.  I definatley can relate to you in a 
lot of ways concerning the things previous mentioned.  I'm still in recovery 
myself becuase of the forms of abuse I suffered.  I chose the CODA program 
because it seemed to hit on the issues that applied to my addictions and my 
addictive behaviors.  Once I was able to get to the core of why I did what I 
did I was then able to accept myself easier and it made recovery from alcohol 
and drugs dependency a hell of a lot easier for me.  I Still attend AA 
meetings now and then, but I attend my CODA meetigns on a regular basis.  AA 
taught me how to put down the drink and drugs and generally surpressed my 
desire to use either.  Coda taught me how to live with myself without the 
drugs and booze.
Your's in Unity and Recovery

Whenever Anyone, anywhere reaches out, I want the hand of AA to always be 
there and for that I am responsible.
