Offhegoes,
Oh, the ole dreaded IOP sessions. I remember them well. Did I say I'd rather have 36 root canals?
Hang in there, Off. Our family session at my AD's rehab was NOT fun. I went from feeling so guilty to being mad as a hornet, wanting to pinch her little head off. And you know what? That session was very critical to my recovery and hers. At the time, it was horrible. Today, well you know the ole saying...."Hindsight is 20/20". We needed that session in order to give us all a kick in the pants to scoot us on down our road of recovery.
So hang in there. If you keep working your recovery (try meetings), you'll get better.
Hugs,
Hangin' In
