Leshar, I agree with Gilmer and SoberLeigh. The reschedule for a third time is quite simply unacceptable. I hope you politely and firmly explain that you have only just been released from hospital, booked a room to ensure you weren't too stressed on the commute. If it was an isolated incident, yes of course. And a family emergency is a family emergency. However, I'd be asking for a waived consult fee now.
SW, of course, ask questions on CBT whenever you like. I can't remember every single detail of what I did, but I do still use the basics from time to time. In fact subliminally I guess I've used some of the techniques to stay sober at different times.
