Thank you everyone for your support. I want to and need to do this. I keep syaing to myself if I drink (even to feel better) i am slowly killing myself. I will not let this disease take over anymore of my life. I need to find a therapist. How do I know if they are good? What do I say when I call. Feels uncomfortable, i guess that is why I havent done it yet. Any suggestions.
Wino, Have you ever tried AA. It is very welcoming. Don't be afraid. Easier said than done. I am afraid to do all sorts of things. But Wino that is what holds us back. Most alcoholics are full of fear.
It may take going to a few therapists to get one you click with. Whatever you do, if you don't click with the first one, don't assume you won't click with others.
