Thanks so much RC and Dixon.
I am actually thinking of going to a closed women's only meeting...I was told by my counsellor that I have to go to at least one meeting before I got back for my 2nd appointment.
Just curious what others thought about meetings such as this.
Thanks. xo

Sounds good to me Bris---closed just means women only (I think) and therefore (presumably) more comfortable/safe and private. What do you have to lose by going? Nadda.

Bris I hope you didn't misconstrue my words. I meant what have you got to lose by going to a meeting to facilitate ongoing counseling. What do you mean by it? You are still in a tough situation and right now booze will not help....sorry to sound like a mom....a canadian one at that~!Psalms 119:45

I'm glad your counselling session went well, Bri. That's a relief to you, I know. It must be hard to find the right person to talk with. I have tried counselling a couple of times long ago, and never felt comfortable with the doctors. I really should consider this for myself as well. Very proud of you!
Did you mean an AA meeting? I've never been, but it couldn't hurt and you may just get something good from it. Let us know how it goes.

RC - no no no!!! I was agreeing with you! Lol. No worries! That's why I repeated it. Because I agree...I do got nothing to lose...it's only an hour and my boyfriend supports it so I figured 'what the heck' - in the past I would have never gone...but...for some reason...I'm going to go. I don't know what changed...but...yea! Lol.
LG - yes, it is an AA meeting. I went to an open one almost a year ago and decided it wasn't for me...it was very preachy - so I am hoping that this one isn't going to be. I am also a bit afraid because it is a "closed" meeting and I don't particularly want to talk...I just want to listen...but if it came down to it, what difference would it make. We are all in the same boat. I hope I find some wonderful ladies there as I have found in all of you! (and the guys too of course but there will be no guys there lol)
I definitely wasn't comfortable with my last counsellor, even though of course she meant well...this one seems different, I felt totally at ease and he didn't make me feel stupid. So I am grateful for that!
I hope you find someone you can talk to LG. If not, you have us here.
AJ - yes, the boyfriend does know that I went and he knows that I will be going tomorrow as well, he will be dropping me off and picking me up and he is also optimistic that I may find a friend or two in there to help me along my way.
We were even supposed to go drag racing tomorrow night but he said not to worry about it - that I can go to this thing if it is what I really wanted.
He is quite supportive.
And thank you! Day 5 tomorrow!
