My 1st counselor apointment

I went to my first apointment today. I got out as much as I could about my afair, and everything about my AH and the land thing and all. She said that I definently have a lot on my plate and that I am not crazy, and that I have the right to change the way I feel OR stay if I want, but that there can be no relationship if he is an alcoholic. She gave ma some literature and I made an appointment for next week!

Glad to hear it went well today....it is a "cleansing" feeling to spill everything out in session. Love. Patty

Just curious, did your counselor go into detail why "there can be no relationship with an alcoholic?

relationship

Well, she said if we are trying to work things out that he has to be sober. unless of course i LIKE living with an alcoholic, which we all know I don't, or I wouldn't be here! I think she was trying to give me tools or grounds to say to him. like if we are going to work this out, you have to be sober.

For me, I agree that it is nigh on impossible to have a healthy relationship with an active alcoholic, although there may be those around here who would disagree. I couldn't do it, though.

Glad to hear the counselling went well - I have really enjoyed mine. I went today and he thinks that I only need one more session. So I'll be flying solo after next week. Apart from al-anon, of course.

Love

Minnie
