Ty Dee, and yeah I know the support is good here.
Horselover, thank you for sharing ur experience at ur first meeting...I don't think I'm ready to face groups, I never have been someone who "mixes" well in large groups (usually end up in a panic attack). If I had the confidence to mix it might help a little, but i have bad experiences of large groups so the thought terrifies me. I am meant to be seeing a alcohol worker next week but it will be one on one, although my drug worker has said she will help me with my drink as well...so i'm not sure what to do, do they go hand in hand....is it better to have a drink worker, and a drug worker, or someone who can help with both...my heads confused over what to do about that..too many people involved tends to make me push them away because i get freaked out.
pathetic eh?..get the chance of having 2 workers and I freak...when some people can't even get one...but I need people who understand outside of that one hour meeting them...makes little sense I know.
