Back on the bus tomorrow

Hello, all - I'm starting a new round of therapy tomorrow. Had not been going since I moved back this past summer - thought I could work things through myself in the absence of the XAH - but find myself struggling still. Called today and they said "Hmm.... someone cancelled and we have an appt tomorrow at 4!" I think this is the universe telling me it's the right time to make this move! Anyway, I am ready to feel better and just need a little nudge over the rough spot. I think participating here and seeing XAH a couple of weeks ago helped me realize I still need the help. So I'm relieved and looking forward to this. Just thought I'd post about it. Thanks. R.

Isn't it funny how those appointments open up when we need them most? Good luck!

good for you rosie! even when i removed myself from the alcoholic, i had so much residual damage done that i needed intense therapy.

for intstance, i spent the whole day today in bed after a session yesterday that left me drained. but at least i knew it wasn't because the alcoholic was in thenext room raising all kinds of chaos.

Counseling has helped me so much- and I look forward to it. I have a session today! I can't help but think it's a good way to keep the healthy process moving too. Good luck.
