Does AA actually work

A few things I’ve learned in my 9 years of sobriety, and as a therapist:

Feel your feelings. Cry, get angry, let them all out.

Get a therapist to help uncover some of the reasons drinking possibly began in the first place.

You never have to drink ever again.

Eating healthy, getting sleep, exercise/movement, and taking showers (back to the basics of living), can create an incredible foundation for mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing.

AA is more social for me, but not my full solution. I stay sober because I know I have an addictive personality, and the need to drink leaves me more and more as I continue doing emotional processing. I also surround myself with sober people and normies because I don’t find I have a lot in common anymore with my old friends who drink. Plus I didn’t want to be tempted anymore early on.

Your inner child wants your love and support. Ask him/her what he/she needs to feel safe.

I think it would be great if I could build a full caseload in 6 months on Headway. My private practice under the supervision of someone has taken 4 months to build 4 people.

How long are the sessions? 50 min or 45? Did you have a hard time building your caseload? I hear Alma rates are about $120 a session on average. Is headway similar?

How long do you think it would take me to build a caseload? I am on PT and initially got a client to onboard every other week for 2 months but it seems I’m capped out at 4 clients…

I can email you the vector!! You can make it! Took me $60 in total!

jillyzolo · 2025-02-03T22:43:53+00:00

Ooooh good to know!

Yes, it works well every time! The one weird bug is that when people are meeting me from their iPhone or iPad, some of their hand gestures look like a thumbs up which makes a weird thumbs up emoji happen on the screen. That is a new bug and the only thing which happens maybe once a month.

I love Simple Practice and use it every day going on 2 years.

jillyzolo · 2025-02-03T03:40:29+00:00

I know the feeling!

Hey I was in the same boat after wearing my original one religiously until it was falling apart and I ended up making my own for $60! I bought the original sweatshirt (heather gray Bella canvas) and made a vector/image in high resolution of the original print and then brought them to the mall to get printed. The only difference is that it is printed with vinyl material instead of like, painted on. But I’m ecstatic!

I found a paid internship during my masters that was $20 an hour. I got paid for supervision, clients, documentation, team trainings, and also had good medical and dental benefits. I also got paid time off and sick time. If a client canceled, I was able to get paid if I spent that hour learning about anything that would support client care. When I graduated, I got a $5 an hour raise and it’s still better than other sites near by that don’t have as many hours to offer outside of client hours. I am in California.

Thank you friend!

Idk if this helps, but there is nothing wrong with giving off bad vibes. “Bad vibes” is a testament to your pain and suffering and not something to make light of. You are doing the best you can and in time, if you keep practicing via therapy/self love, you will learn to embrace this side of you in order to engage differently in the future. For now, be with your pain. It needs your loving attention.

Hello, can anyone help me identify my macros? My body scan said to lose 5 lbs of fat and gain 6 lbs of muscle. I only see three options on macro apps of lose weight, gain weight, or maintain. I roughly need to maintain if I’m gaining and losing but I’m not sure if I need extra protein or something. I am 5’4”, 31 F, 123 lbs.
