No, this is my primary care physician. I don't
think my medical coverage will cover much of anything
else. I think he does understand pretty well (I'm an
adult child of alcoholics, and so is he!), but he has
to do what the HMO tells him to. He recommended
AlAnon to me, but I don't think they really have what I
need to deal with the issues I have--like I said, I
think I have been dealing (less than adequately) with
depression most of my adult life.<br><br>Sorry to hear you

harder! But I am available most days to chat with, or
e-mail, or in the clubs, so if I can help, let me
know!<br><br>Take care of yourself!<br>Stormy
