At the moment I am on step 1. I was given some medication from my dr which makes you really ill if you have a small amount of alcohol. If you have a large amount of alcohol it could kill you. No kidding! It seems to be doing the trick for me. I haven't drank a drop for 4 whole days. Shaz

Hi. I'm Mike and I'm an alcoholic in Boston, MA. Is this board only for Al-anon or is it for alcoholics too? I'd love to participate but don't want to violate the integrity of the board. I've been sober 10 years and am looking for a good online step site. Thanks, Mike
