I'm sorry the URL is www.Recovery-inc.com My mistake. It's actually a kind of internationally recognized group therapy that meets usually in church basements/cafeterias (you don't have to be of any religion and it's totally annonymous). It's not a chatline instead it's face to face group therapy. I found it usefull for myself because it made me able to distinguish when I was having a symptom from my deppresion and what thought proccess brought it on. Most people who join that are on meds are usually able to reduce thier dosages or go med free over time. I agree with you about dr bob but there is nothing that compares to the support and guidance that you get from the group. Also to talk to people with the nearly identical problems and find out how they had overcome them is truly invaluble.
