I want to get back to using 43T as a sort of journaling tool without becoming as consumed by it as I have been in the past. The enriching part of 43T has always been the social aspect, but that has also been the time suck. How can I be supportive of others I care about and still have boundaries?

I’m just immersing myself in recovery literature these days, and I have found The. Best. Book. Ever. It is: Recovery—the Sacred Art: The Twelve Steps As Spiritual Practice by Rami Shapiro. I can’t tell you how exciting it’s been reading this book. I’m staying up late at night, rushing home from meetings, highlighting every other paragraph, and turning each (virtual) page as quickly as I can. I love this book so much that I want to share it with all of you. Click on the link above to read reviews, or send me a message and I will email you the Foreword and Introduction.
I am grateful that my newly-found commitment to the OA program has allowed me to be without recreational sugar for 23 days, and that my cravings for it have been manageable.
