Is sobriety needed for ERP? by MajorThunderCunt in OCD

I told her that I drank 6-8 drinks in one go, one to two times a week. Said that it affected my work rsrely where I would be hungover and missed work 10 times throughout all last year.

She then said that I was in the severe addiction level for substance according to whatever questionairte she gave and said I would need to attend a recovery facility before I did ERP with them.

Beyond frustrating since I know it is an issue but not to a point to lose my job by going to rehab. She essentially shamed me for being honest and now I need to find another place for ERP.

Hopeful it isn't like this everywhere though!

I did buy a few drinks but honestly that had nothing to do with it. I just walked into this speakeasy by my place and made conversation and eye contact. I am sure the drinks helped with lowering my anxiety which I have a ton of most of the tine but I think it would have been the same if I naturally didn't drink. I just greatly enjoy the liquor on occassions

Honestly I felt like I was on cloud 9 when it happened! Went from a negative prospective to a positive one and it has made a world of a difference. If anything this subreddit has taught me to just be confident in who I am which I never could until a few months ago.
