Start of day 7 and got a big pat on the back from my alcohol counsellor last night and a detailed diary for the next week to help pull out the 'patterns' (if there are any) of when I really want to go and buy alcohol. It was a good meeting.
My talking therapy last night was also very, very, good, but very, very tearful. I feel I have 100% affinity with her, but I realise I am going to have to open up some very painful boxes to really heal past and present and today, I'm sorry to say, that I feel very sad, tearful, down and depressed.
I will get through it - I am just going to try and focus on working away all day till I can get home and hug my family.
