Here are links to some other websites that may be of interest to you. I am very picky about the people and organizations I endorse. YOUR time is valuable and I don't want to waste it. None of these people or organizations paid for a listing here and they are in no particular order:
AllTreatment.com
AllTreatment.com is a drug rehab center directory and substance abuse information resource. Finding a drug rehab center is a complex and emotional process.

Our aim at AllTreatment is to educate, inform, and guide our users through their own recovery or the recovery of a loved one. We suggest you begin your search for a drug rehab center by selecting the state you live in. Browse through our comprehensive directory of drug treatment centers.
The Freedom to Recover: Rolf Ankermann has put out a book that will rattle a few cages. He has an interesting website and his book is very thought provoking.

Adopt or foster a dog or cat. There are many good pets waiting to find a home. Save an animal from death by getting one from your local Animal Shelter. These animals have a sense that you are the one that saved them. The love that you will share between you can't even be described with words. Please rescue a dog or cat.
Jeff Nichols / Jeff is a standup comedian and a non-drinker. He is also the author of the very funny book: Trainwreck.
Lawyers.com Gee, it's hard to imagine that drunks and drug addicts may encounter legal problems. This site has links to Lawyers listed by State and Specialty.
SoberRecovery.com is a great site that offers a lot of talk forums. This is a place where you can chat with other addicts and ask questions. There is a lot of specialty areas from Alcoholism, Drug and Gambling addiction to Family issues. It's worth checking out.
Live-Sober.com - I am a Stay At Home Mom just trying to learn how to live and stay sober! I have created this site not only to help me learn about the effects of alcohol on the mind & body, but you too. You will learn the warning signs about alcohol abuse and addiction here. This site is not only for the alcoholics but for families as well. http://www.live-sober.com.
If you would like to swap links (hmmm, that sounds like a line from Broke Back Mountain), or you would like to suggest a site, just email me.
Thank you,
Mark.
