I would add that the person who most helped me in my life was a volunteer I met at a crisis center. No money was charged.

There are many ways to healing, and many people who are willing to help.

Lots of books to read, as well.

I'm not sure how much therapy would work while still drinking. I mean, a lot of the cognitive distortions are being caused by alcohol, drugs and other addictions. Continuous Abstinence is the 1st Step. If I were going to search for "therapy" and I was still drinking, I'd make sure to pick someone who is well-versed in addiction/alcoholism and then I'd be 100% honest about my past and current use because that is the elephant in the room.
