Not much help there after a few months of therapy. so now here I am. today is day one! hope you all have a good day, and thanks for being here!

It took me a fe therapist to connect before I found the right one so don't despair.

Most importantly, welcome back and stay strong!

I went to a therapist ($100 visit)I think she was the one who needed the therapy.I went straight to the bottle shop..They are just trained and do not have personal experience,so thier hearts not always in it..unless of course they like your personality..(Just my experience)

[QUOTE=raineyjane;404050 hiding at home with Al.
I hated that part-the hiding. Nothing was so important to do away from home that could take me away from AL. I came home and drank, drank, drank. We'd love to have you join all of us on our quest against AL. Evie is right...we can do this together. Kriger

Hi Rainy,

Glad you're back! I went through the therapist routine with my youngest daughter who was dealing with anxiety issues. The first couple of "counselors" were clueless. I finally found her someone with the help of a friend who's a therapist, but it still took many calls, dead ends, and some amazing luck (providence?) that it all came together. When the advice columnists end every paragraph with "seek professional help" I'm convinced the person is doomed! Now that I've trashed an entire profession, I do think the folks here have more compassion and common sense probably because we've been in your shoes. Good luck to you with the MWO program. See you on the boards.
