Feeling frustrated tonight.

3 Replies

Been informed today that my therapist has gone on long term sick. Though I'm obviously wanting her health to improve first and foremost, I feel gutted that I've finally had an out lay for a lot of baggage I've carried over the years. Lost the use of my drinks app and all my progress through swapping to an android.

There's bigger problems than mine I know, just need find a way forward! 🤔

Hey, thats understandable you are a bit disappointed. But its not the therapist that has got you this far - its you! Remember that, and for now you can continue using the tools she has taught you already and go forward with that. Also forget what you had already on your apps and just start again with a new challenge.

Keep a diary to record how you feel and why/what may have triggered it.

I personally think you are underestimating how far you have come!

Keep it up 😀👍

Thanks for this. My therapist wasn't for alcohol use it was for past trauma which I won't go into on here. I just recently opened up and spoke about the drinking. Just started linking some things together. I'll be looking at some apps to see what may work. A diary is a good idea I'll think about that.

Good morning. Thanks for the info about other groups. I'll be on waiting list for now. I didn't drink in the end. 2 alco free then pop. Feel great today taking 1 child out for some fun then taking another roller skating tomorrow hopefully 😁well done to you x
