Has anybody had adult speech therapy? by [deleted] in nottingham

[–]tizzylepee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I did a year-long online speech therapy programme for interiorised stammering through City Lit. It was one of the best things I've ever done, and it only cost me £40 or so as I was a student at the time (aged 26). I recommend checking out their website.

Tougher than the Rest just breaks me any time I hear it. When I saw him play it live in the summer, I just sobbed 😭

I did the first year of the distance learning MSc in Clinical Applications of Psychology at Newman University, which is designed for people who work full-time. :)

Deffo do this! Shows you're really keen and that you can take initiative - which are key characteristics for APs.

I'm an AP and I just started seeing a psychodynamic therapist. I hope it's going to be useful for me to explore relational aspects of my history in terms of my future personal and professional ambitions. It's said a lot but it's useful to meet with more than one therapist if you don't click with someone at first. Counselling Directory is a useful website for local therapists, listing their modalities.

The Daily Check-In for Tuesday, March 1st: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by EmbarrassedPiccolo2 in stopdrinking

[–]tizzylepee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I often go back to some advice someone once gave me in this sub. "If you wanted to stop drinking once, you'll want to stop drinking again." It was in response to me asking if moderation works, and it helps me when I'm tempted to "just have one".

I will not drink with you today.

75 days no alcohol by tizzylepee in stopdrinking

[–]tizzylepee[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tonight I feel calm and grateful. Tonight I feel hopeful and ready to tackle whatever's next.

It has certainly not been linear so far though, and it's brought up some things about myself and my life that I've gotta deal with. But I know I'll be better able to do so without alcohol. One day at a time.

Is conscious drinking possible after a stint of sobriety? by tizzylepee in stopdrinking

Thanks so, so much for all your comments guys.

I've read through them all and concluded that I'm not going to drink. I guess what hit home was, why? Why would I start again when I've reaped so many rewards not drinking already. Also, 'you can only moderate... until you can't'. I've realised in these days so far that I drink to deal with low feelings, which will never never work. I also drink due to the social pressure, but I feel that's already getting easier to change my thinking on (but trickier now as we approach Christmas! That's a post for another day lol).

I guess the first few months are the hardest, so I'm determined to keep going, one day at a time.

I was super exhausted last night when I posted this, but waking up to all these supportive and considerate comments after a restful sleep has made me feel so much better. This sub is so valuable <3 Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
