This is a pebble in the road about the ADAA On-line Support Group. Sometimes you need to connect to an actual human being. Or a group of people that share your problem or have similar questions. Lots of things happening and I'm trying to adjust to them. In future episodes, probably starting with this one, there will be a transcript available. It will be 90% accurate. If your podcast player supports transcripts, it should be visible. Meaning, that most of what I mention in the episode is present but after I do a bit of editing, tweaking and finding out that I made a big honking mistake it might be a little different. It is the right thing to do but I have to find a way to consistently do it. And then go back and do it for the older episodes as well. It is humbling. So many typos and lapses of thought. Yikes. If you need support contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-8255, the Trevor Project at 1-866-488-7386 or text "START" to 741-741. Resources Mentioned:
