OT: Rough Night

70 days is great and the fact this setback didn`t turn your thoughts to drink. That`s a great step.

People resist change, almost all people. Whether it`s pretty major like finding a new group or minor like a new boss with different protocol then the old you were comfortable with.
Look at the tools you`ve been given at your sessions and use them to find the good in this. Perhaps this will be another step in you journey of sobriety taking you on too bigger and better things..

I`ve found every time the rug has been pulled out from under me there has always been something good come out of it but I have to search it out.
Prayers heading your way.

70 days of sobriety is wonderful and amazing - congratulations on that and on not wanting to turn to alcohol when you were feeling down - that is a fantastic accomplishment.

You are losing a comfort zone and that can make anyone emotional - its like losing a job and having to start a new one so go ahead and mourn a little for your loss, but then embrace a new beginning and making new friends at the Yardley facility. I know its scary, but I know you can do it.

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you begin this transition into a new phase of your treatment - you know we're here when you need us.

Trish,

You are doing really wonderfully.  70 days is nothing to sneeze at (well, 71 by the time you're reading this).  That's a lotta hours of sobriety behind your belt.  

This is not trivial at all - finding a therapeutic relationship that you trust and are comfortable with is incredibly important.  I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and hoping that this will be an even better relationship and group for you than Malvern (with a lot shorter commute, too!).

HUGS and prayers.

Karen

 Thanks Karen,
The kind words and positive thoughts help a great deal.  As for the commute, Malvern has an outpatient office in Trevose, not too far from me.  Yardley is probably an equal distance.

I am staying positive, most of the time.

Hugs,
Trish

Trish - congrats on 70 days of sobriety.  That is truly awesome !

Change is difficult, but you can do this. 

Hugs,
Lisa
