Found It! The Recovery Tartan (or AA Tartan)

[Fearnest]

Hey wait, I did some more surfing and there's a Recovery Tartan Website

http://www.recoverytartan.com/

Thanks for this discovery, too - they actually sell the material by the meter, kilts, scarves, shawls, neckties, etc., etc., etc.! (I'm sure you figured that one out, Ron - but it was a huge "aha!" moment for me.)

Don't think I'd buy a kilt from them directly, but with the fabric available in three weights, and the ability to purchase other "stuff" already done? Beauty!

I suppose I shouldn't really talk about "addiction" to kilts in this thread . . . but as addictions go, it's not a bad one.

You know, I've sometimes wondered (seriously) about trading one addiction for another... Has your use of kilts increased recently? Have your friends talked with you about your kiltedness? We even have a "big book" of kilts - but it's not a recovery tool. Hmmm...

Almost every one of us has some demon(s) we battle daily - for those who don't, congratulations (and watch out - yours may just not yet be identified).

But enough vapid musing. To one and all, peace, strength, serenity, and my hope we'll all be able to muddle through this day's challenges.

Thanks for the link, Ron, looks like a nice tartan. Castle Craig is only about forty miles from here and I have heard much of their works. Personally I've never been a member of AA - although I did attend alcohol counselling I found that what ultimately worked for me in quitting alcohol completely was hyphotherapy - it seemed expensive at the time but has since paid for itself many times over in what I've no longer spent on whisky and wine, and the health benefits are worth more than any money can buy. Another benefit I've found is that because it changed my whole thinking on alcohol, I can join an x-marks pub crawl and drink non alcoholic drinks all evening without ever feeling that I'm missing out on something which would give me any pleasure.
I guess for some of us, re-inventing ourselves as (almost) full-time kilt wearers is part of the process of moving on from these dark years of being a slave to the bottle.
