Here is a podcast I did for Gary from https://freepigeonpress.com/ I would recommend reading his site especially if you are interested in The Sinclair Method as Gary has used it well for 5 years now. Hi everyone.

Here is a new blog critical of AA by another person who has left. https://ileftaa.blogspot.com/ It was a difficult decision for me to leave AA, even though I was questioning what was going on in meetings and its effectiveness. Other people seem to find this is a problem as well so I am always glad when people are prepared to share their experiences. This new blog looks good and has been started straight after leaving AA. I waited a few years and have a different perspective as a result. I hope this helps those who are struggling in the rooms at the moment and who want to take charge of their o ..read more

2018 has just begun, and hopefully it will be a good time for people in recovery from addiction. There is certainly a wider range of solutions out there, than have been available in the past, and attitudes are slowly changing away from the old traditional solutions towards more modern, effective answers. The internet and online book selling outlets have been a real game changer for those looking for solutions. In the past it was difficult finding answers. When I finally gave up the drink 11 years ago, pretty much everybody just went to AA. I did for about a year and a half, but I was not looki ..read more

Ibogaine and the Benefits of Alternative Addiction Treatment Over the last decade, drug overdose has become one of the leading causes of death in America. And, with the US declaring a state of emergency, it seems that the opioid crisis isn’t going away anytime soon. Addiction is not a form of weakness, nor is it something that people actively pursue. Many individuals are seeking help for their addiction with traditional rehabilitation models, but they don’t always work. Holistic methods, like Ibogaine, are helping many addicts break their addiction cycle and move forward in a positive way. The ..read more
