These meetings are in the UK yeah. Basically its like a drop in center for drug/alcohol problems. From what I gathered from the very basic leaflets they gave me was to get a one on one counciller you need to attend 6 'lectures' on what alcohol does to the body etc. These are once a week - hence 6 weeks before you start to get any real help.
Just to rub salt into the already sore wound the 1st lecture was all about the amazing drugs they can use these days to help people who are having trouble stopping stop.
I doubt I'll go back for the other 5, will seek help elsewhere.
Yeah its good to be back at the parental home for a while. Its a huge weight of me to have sat down with them and be brutally honest. It was also good to catch up with other family members and meet my niece for the first time - she is 12 weeks old.
Ah well, registering with a new doctor tomorrow, hopefully he may be able to advise me more than the last one.
