A must do for me. I listen, actually listen to what they say- couhnsellor and a psychologist. I do not write their advice off..'because it is different for me', or 'It is not for me' or 'they do not understand'. I listen with as much of an open mind as I can. I do not go to be rescued- or get glowing feedback on how well I am doing, or sympathy or a way out. It is hard work for me- but the alternative is death by drinking..
