Day 11, closing out. Went to counseling for my first visit today and I think it was very positive. The therapist was friendly and receptive. She told me my brain is addicted to a binge/recovery cycle that needs resetting. She said this process will take at least 18 months sobriety before there is any freedom from the addiction. Also that I need to replace the addiction with active recovery. So there you go...good to get an objective opinion from a professional.

It's going to be a long haul but at least I found the sense and the courage to recognize its time to break the cycle for good.

Good sober evening everyone...
