The Discovering Alcoholic
http://discoveringalcoholic.com/
The Discovering Alcoholic is an online community built on the premise that the road to recovery is not a dead end; that there is more to recovery than waking up every morning and saying to the mirror that you are an alcoholic or have an addiction. Instead the road to recovery can lead to a freeway of discovery, where the knowledge of the addiction, its effects and how we deal with them can be used as empowering knowledge to better ourselves and the lives of others.
