No calls back!!!
Wow in never ceases to amaze me with the so called therapists and counsellors in this town.... I had phoned Wednesday to see if I could get some help...three different organizations...and not a call back.... this happened to me a few years ago too when I was reaching out....each time the door was shut...strange....that's why I've had issues with reaching out to people it seems they just dont care or are just "too busy" to bother.... I don't know...whatever the case I have you guys here...and I feel blessed!!
Just venting abit...I'm abit upset...

I was on an airplane flight once when the flight attendant made an announcement asking if there were any "friends of Bill" aboard (code word for recovered alcoholic). Evidently there was a newly sober person struggling with a craving for a drink....not surprisingly, there was a friend of Bill's there to provide support.
I hope you don't give up. Maybe you've been looking in the wrong place(s) for help. I think that both NA, AA and alanon are all pretty vigilant about being there when someone reaches out. Counselors and therapists.....not so much.

I think our society teaches us from a very young age that we are always supposed to 'reach out.' Doubtless, it's a good thing to do and when someone responds it makes life a lot easier. In my experience, however, every single one of my friends will respond with 'I'm not good at this,' or 'you're really talking to the wrong person for this' even though they are people I've been friends with for a decade.
A friend once told me 'the only person you can count on is yourself.' It sounds cliche, dumb, and like the thing the stupid character in a movie will find out isn't really true, but it actually is. Reach out to others, but don't let that be your breaking point. You can't be dependent on others... This is why people say 'quit for yourself.' If you quit for someone else, and that someone else leaves the scene, suddenly you're faced with dilemma.
I hope that you find someone who will let you open up to them, but I also hope that in the meantime you can get thru this okay
