I have an accountability system!

So, I just had my monthly meeting with my therapist that is in charge of of my outpatient treatment.

We changed a few things. I am now going to be in three of her groups with the same patients. And one separate group that is called mindfulness.

I have never had a therapist that I felt I could talk to or one that I felt like gave a crap. I cannot explain it, but I do not feel alone.

I was all over the map when I first sat down to talk to her- I'm looking for a job, moving to my own apartment next week, AND trying to go back to school. Oh, and messing around on a dating site talking to a guy.

I told her all of this- and I'm still sober, 47 days today, going to meetings.

She quickly explained that I do not need to do anything that is going to take priority over my recovery.

I'm on disability. I need to to chill on the full time job for six months. I have a pattern of getting good jobs, getting stressed out, drinking, and losing said job.

I am going to focus on the school thing, part time, a class or two.

I just had to share this because before, I refused to listen to anybody. I obviously do not know what is best for me. I'm trying to do it different this time

This is really amazing I have had probs with docs over the years (the last one that spoke sense is now retired) I got the call telling me my apt is now next week which is a blessing really as I have a busy Friday and Tuesday suits me fine !


Really well done on 47 days that's incredible !
