Hi Paul. I drank through therapy in 2019...I understand what my therapist was trying to do, and actually I am still alive and now I am sober so he played a part in my recovery.
However, I wish he'd been a bit more 'up front' with me about moving on in my journey and my addiction. I realise now I couldn't move forward with that amount of booze in me.
That's my experience - nobody else's! Hope it helps
