Book and website.....

Hi all....  I posted this earlier today, in response to another string, but with the amount of board activity on here today, it is already onto page 2....


I am a huge advocate of the MIP board, and think our discussion board is the best one going... 


There are other good ones out there as well, and one that you may want to consider, if for nothing else than all the wonderful, free advice online, is www.gettingthemsober.com , and it is a site run & maintained by the author of those books under the same GTS name, Toby Rice Drews.  Her volume one, is often said to be "the best" book for those living with or around active alcoholism, and I would encourage anyone to check it out.  I know, for me, it was a true lifesaver for MY sanity, and I'm hopeful it will be for you as well.... Some of the excerpts, direct from the chapters of her four books, are available to read online as well.  


So don't ever leave MIP, but if you want to supplement your online info, and get access to some other great recovery materials, you may want to give the GTS site a visit.


Take care


Tom

so agree about Toby Rice Drews Books. i think they used to be on sale here too on this site. For me also a lifeasver. Sane commentary on how to live your life as you moved around in the insanity of this disease.


most of it is simple and clear and so helped me back to serenity


agree also that alanon programme and 12 stepsforums here is also a blessed space

Tom,


Looks like great stuff !!  Thanks for sharing.  I think I'll check the local Barnes and Noble tonight to see if they have the books.


Mike
