You failed to see this apparently, it was in the list I made.

Intensive Out-Patient.

Meaning the client is not a resident while in treatment.

Intensive Outpatient. I checked into a 20 day, 3 hours per day outpatient program at a local rehab back in April. It's very intensive. It's kind of like a group therapy. Lead by an addictions counselor. I unloaded a lot there during that time. I grieved a lot for my mother, she passed away three years ago. She was an alcoholic. My resentments go back a long time... to childhood really. Growing up in an alcoholic family with an alcoholic for a mother. Then, a lot of guilt surrounding her death. I won't go into the details, because I've already discussed that on the forum here.

Well, that about wraps it up for me on this thread... Lol! I've spent enough time here today, and I don't want to take over LadyBlue's thread anymore than I already have. Thanks very much to those of you who've engaged with me today, and answered these questions Really appreciate it!

This helps me too. If I go back, it'll partly be because of this... it does help if for no other reason than to get the different perspectives.

I'm going to take the opportunity to close this thread.... I didn't want to interrupt your discussion, Jennie, but I agree we've gotten just a wee bit (!) off topic and at this point, just the length of the thread is getting cumbersome.
