It might depend on where you are located. I do know of a wonderful book that was just published you might want to look at:

You know know that alcohol is a problem for you. That’s key. Sometimes it’s harder to come to that when seemingly no one agrees with you. But don’t let that cause you to doubt your judgment. This is so similar to what I went through. Please take good care of yourself.

Someone clearly saw that in you. Yes, we all struggle. Have you read this one: http://www.danoah.com/2010/09/disease-called-perfection.html

This is something I’m thinking about a lot lately. You might enjoy it. Best wishes.

I have been going to a sangha for about a year and a half and studying the dharma. Such a lovely, simple way to live. Thanks for sharing!

It is comforting to read that others struggle as well with their very existence. I remember when I took refuge and my first thought was I don’t deserve this name – Nyingje Garma – Compassion Dancer. Thank you for sharing your experience.
