[QUOTE="DDD, post: 434782, member: 35"] Glad to read that you have an appointment at a mental health clinic....that's a mature step toward living a healthier life. From family experience, sad to say, I know that young adults often don't embrace the AA program but have you tried it? In some communities there are more than one group and on rare occasions there is one that has more young recovering alcoholics. I am not an expert in the program. on the other hand, my Dad participated in AA for decades to not only help maintain his sobriety but also to follow the other steps. It was his opinion that slowly and deliberately "working" the steps helped him understand himself and the ways to improve his interactions with others. It also provided some companionship and a chance to get away from the family for a break. Meanwhile I have a grandson who finds walking (and sometimes other forms of exercise) really helps him with his anger management issues. As soon as he feels his emotions getting out of whack he heads out the door and walks until he has chilled out. Perhaps that might help, too. DDD [/QUOTE]
