I have a question. What work are you doing? Sounds to me like there isn't much going on in the way of recovery. Granted [U]recovery[U] does ebb and flow, but if I just don't drink because of what the people in and around me think I am doomed. I had to finally quit for MYSELF. Does this therapist have any personal experience with recovery. I know a ton of people that "quit long enough to get someone or something of thier back" the result has most always been the same, more pain and suffering.
