Best place I could have gone. I started the first session immediately last night. There are 20 sessions, each consisting of education and group therapy. This support, combined with the relief I'm getting from starting the Campral (what a great medication for me!) is giving me some hope for future for the first time in Years.
It's very liberating not to think about drinking for a change. Where to get it, how to hide it, what lies to tell about it, what direction to breathe to try to hide it - it's a complex thing to deal with. No wonder I had no energy left with to try to hold a job.
Fingers, toes, eyes, all crossed; but this feels much different than a mood swing to me. This feels like a shift in strategy and approach. It feels safe and smart.
And I only used one kleenex last night. That's pretty big, for me!
