Resources

Here are some books, blogs, websites, organizations, and other stuff worth taking a look at. I am not endorsing or recommending anything in particular, as I know everyone has a different situation and goals. What works for some, won’t work for others. For me, however, among all the information out there on moderation, sobriety, and recovery (and there is A LOT) these are the resources I have found to be of help along my way.
