[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 652356, member: 1963"] MWM, this is one of those areas. Very white. Very Christian. I received a call-back from the private Residential Treatment Center (RTC) this morning. They have meetings, but they are not under the Al-anon umbrella. They are run by religious leaders or returning clients, so I don't think they are for me. The nearest meetings other than what are available to me in town are 40 miles away. I think I'll do better to go back into therapy for a temporary "tune-up". Meanwhile, I'll think I'll take my mum's advice on dealing with this, which is to tell my sister that I won't talk to her if she's "under the weather" and to "call back when she's feeling better." or something to that effect. I can't pull of the euphamisms quite as well. I think it takes a British accent to do so. Meanwhile, I got a call from a collection agency from a pay-day loan place because she put me down as a "reference" on a loan that she hasn't been paying on. That was a rather rude awakening as they called at 8AM sharp and I stay up very late and get up late. They weren't very pleasant on the phone, but neither was I. They can't do anything legally to me and I told them not to call me again, period, so that should take care of it. It does sound like the wheels are in the process of coming off, which saddens me, though. [/QUOTE]
