Rocks, is there any way you could line up a new therapist before you go back, so it's in place right at the off? Or at least make it your first task when you do get back?
You're right about feelings being stronger in sobriety, I wonder if approaching it with some curiosity may help, "how strange, I'm feeling quite .... about this", just like you're a newbie in your own skin. Feelings are part of our humanity, quite amazing really.
Chick, I need advice about the little cat I'm fostering, he's in to EVERYTHING. Nothing is beyond climbing on to (found him balanced on top of a door yesterday). We've just started letting him out, but I'm worried he'll get beaten up by the local Tom. I'm hopeful that we'll find a permanent loving home for him soon (somewhere with lots of trees to climb).
It's Friday morning here, so the Fools Bargain is reinstated.
Have a great sober day all.
