Made the appointment
Still sober, 50+ days.
Researched and made the appointment today to meet with a therapist/mental health professional.
I am not going to AA, because I feel like I need deeper healing. Now sober, I am realizing I have lots of issues I need to work through so I can become the person I am meant to be.
Someone said it well in another post, I am an addict. I abused and tried all sorts of stuff before I settled on alcohol, so my problems are bigger than just being an alcoholic. I am an addict, in recovery.
I’ve posted about family issues going on, my struggle to maintain sobriety during it—and the family issues are not going away. I’m not coping well, and I needed to reach out—so I did.
Wish me luck. Nervous about it, but I cannot maintain my sobriety without addressing the underlying issues and I need help.
I’ll post progress.
