FYI, my reason for sharing the challenge I'm facing is it seemed to me a disconnect existed, due not for medical reasons but rather political/legal concerns; driven by profit motive over health issues for the patient. It was prompted out of curiosity. I'm no activist.

Bottom line, it just got a lot harder for me to recover from Alcoholism & I'm looking for help, if it's out there. Considering my medical challenges and the medications, the post was more about a reality check for me.

I didn't want to delay my alcoholic recovery program, ergo I began as planned on Monday. As of today, the clinic is still "reviewing" so "on the fly" I continue to develop a "self help" treatment program/support network that succeeds where I haven't alone.

At the moment I'm investigating how either Rational Recovery and/or Live Rings might fit. I'm also blessed to have a group of Drs, friends & family there for me. Yes, I've tried AA multiple times previously, doesn't quite work for me.

Any other thoughts/ideas always welcome!

Thx in advance for your understanding
