Instead Of Self Pity

Hi All. Yesterday I went to see my addiction counsellor. That didn't go as well as I had anticipated. So coming back on the bus I was really thinking about it and I had planned on posting on here to vent my frustrations. But i checked my mail first and there was an email there that helped me a lot. Then I came on ARG and saw that Zipper had returned !! I was so happy to see her posts because I was truly concerned what had happened to her. So then I emailed her and sent her some things I read to help make me feel better and then she emailed me back.So instead of wallowing in self pity and anger and ranting to you guys on my pity pot ,I reached out to try and comfort some one else. So I think that shows improvement and HOPE. God bless and be safe all.
Good for you! That is a miracle of the 12 step program, reaching out to others allows us to not wallow in ourselves. Now I'm not a big 12 stepper, I went to meetings for the first 10 months of recovery but I believe there are alot of positive things in the program.

I'm glad to hear that you are going to see an addiction counselor. I went inpatient and then 4 months of outpatient and it helped me alot. You will not always hear what you want, but most of the time it is what you need to hear.

Keep up the good fight, you are so worth it!
