drink shrink

today i went to drink shrink (al advisor) for first time. was terrified of going. she came out and ...O MY GOD ..I KNOW HER. our faces were a picture and i burst into tears. i dont know her well but she is in a wide group of middle aged folk who i have been to festivals with and pub outings. she said i could see someone else instead of i wasnt comfortable but i stayed with her. turned out fine and she was a good help.i told her about mwo and she knows it and agrees its a fantastic place. anyway im really pleased. this is day 5 af (record for me in recent years} and i didnt celebrate with a drink (why would i want to poison myself and feel rubbish). instead i treated myself to some nice smellies for bath. thanks and thanks again to everyone for being here x

Spuddle - Im so glad it went well for you :l

I had a similar moment at an AA meeting when I walked in and a client of mine was chairing the meeting.... I just wanted to die but he was amazing and stayed behind at the end to ask me if i was getting enough support.

What is beautiful about this journey is discovering how many really good people are out there who want to help...

Enjoy that soak it the bath

Good, spuddle!! I'm so glad it turned out well. A treat for the bath is a great idea! Well done!

I'm really happy to read that it turned out so well! For me, some of my very best growth in sobriety has come from some of the most uncomfortable (initially) moments. Good for you too learning how to "treat" yourself with something nice instead of something toxic. Enjoy that bath!!
