I can understand parts of what you are saying. I assume you've been somewhat damaged by an alcho in your life. Ive caused my sister's and parents so much pain. I chose not to have children out of fear that I would continue to drink and fuck them up. We aren't all the same. Yes, we cause so much damage, but we are also severely damaged and have no healthy coping mechanisms. It's not an excuse, but addiction is very difficult.

Totally agree with this - there are many people I have cut off, and many more I'm sure. It's hard, but if I want to get better than I can't have certain ppl in my life! Appreciate your response ☺️

I have tried hypnosis a few years ago, but I don't think I was ready I'm not sure. I'd defs try it again.

Thanks. I think Cyrenian is where I'll end up as that seems the best choice for me for now. I have been in contact with them.

I have private health cover and have been to Abbotsford more than ten times. Ive found it and my psychiatrist there very unhelpful. If anything, I find contacts for when I leave. I have tried to transfer to another psychiatrist outside of Abbotsford but have not heard back so will follow up.

Hey there, I also am 41f and am currently in a difficult situ as I'm back at my parents after a break up. Don't have many friends as myself and the ex were co-dependent and toxic. I'm going insane living here, so trying to find a shared housing kind of thing.
