I didn't get a chance to read all of this, but I will get back to it.
I would try NA or CA and you do not have to share. You can say "I pass" or "just listening"
And FYI: nobody really likes to share. At least not at first.
You are there to save your life, not make friends. That's a bonus.
GL,
Jules

That's amazing Sky!
I'm so proud you've decided to stay on here and you're making such progress.
That guy finally came clean last night (after stringing me along yet again) and said he was too ashamed to say anything but he didn't have the money. It took me telling him I thought he was a psychopath with no conscience or empathy to do what he's doing, deriving pleasure out of this charade (obviously become BS) and other people's suffering. That did it, he came clean. Should have been honest from the get go and not waste my time over and over like he had.
Whatever, he's still an ass I do not wish to associate with.
Keep it up! Day 16 here for me.

Yeah therapy isn't easy esp if you're completely honest in therapy...a lot of feelings come up...always good to make sure u have a therapist that u trust and remember therapy isn't forever...def glad you aren't drinking over stuff!

Nice. Yeah see how it goes you aren't bound to anything but it'll benefit you to give it a good chance.
I am at weird place with my therapist...I came in to therapy with a good amount of time sober and it'll be a year of therapy in about 2 months...since my relapse it's been pretty depressing going to sessions.

thanks some days I am so determined and apply apply away and some days I just want to sleep in because of how sick I am of applying...
I did get an interview at a few places but I am being a bit picky this time around...Now, I think my head is heading more towards "whatever comes I will take"
Also, come February I may be taking a course that is required for one of the grad school programs I am applying to...so there is something to look forward to...
