Find a counselor you trust, one who has knowledge of addiction, one who listens to you and suggests options....never one who makes you feel comfortable.

An old chair can make you feel comfortable....while it is doing your spine no good.
So with a counselor...comfortable means you are not being challenged to move on, to work hard or grow in yourself. If you don't get discomfort and "growing pains" whilst in any therapy...there is going to be little progress if any for you.

These comments were made by a wonderful man who is my ideal of a therapist, and who lectured to us students. He has passed now, but his melody lingers on in many who follow his teaching.

God bless
