I agree with these guys Jeni, therapy is just a doctor's appointment for your mind. It can be scary, I know from experience, but it can also be liberating.

My sponsor said the same thing to me, "I think you need the help of a professional because some of your issues are very deep." Ouch!! But once I realized she was only trying to help me, and admitting that she was incapable of giving me that help, the hurt dissolved.

We've all gone through some stuff to get where we were in our drinking. This is our chance to work through those deep issues and set ourselves up for success, instead of for failure.

I hope you reconsider therapy, it's given me a new lease on life! I had no idea just how normal I was!

All the best to you Jeni
