Hi John/Oz,

This would not be a proper holiday without saying thank you for all your work.  It has and is making a tremendous change in my life.

Thanks also for the hepful comments below.

But, oh drat, how do I change my user name?  Can I be toto123 instead of Carla, from whom I morphed?

Have ordered Paths to Recovery in Eng. from Holland. Have sponsor in CA.  My cousin, who is alononer and went through steps long ago; changed her life.  We come from real large dysfunctional family!  It's not always easy to reach her, she's a college prof., and there's the time difference to deal with, but she's very good when I do get her. This board helps and I heard about an email step program which I will look into.

After that, well, odat as others have told me....questions and comments on steps follow...

Danke sehr noch einmal.  (thanks very much again)
