making a commitment
I think the councilor is a really good idea. When I first quit the first time around (for 4 years) I used one to help with the onslaught of raw emotions after numbing myself for so long. There is so much we bury when drinking or delay feeling.
I agree, I don't feel like drinking my way through summer and 'talking rubbish!' So true.
Glad you posted. It's helping to remind me of where I don't want to go and making the Commitment is 1/2 the battle! I'm not fond of AA myself, but after dealing with this 'affliction' myself, I figure whatever works. Go for it. I tmay be just what you need. If you don't like it you don't have to go again.
Best of luck -- hang in there.Padme
