Oh that sounds interesting
So is this all part of your treatment with this therapist then

Yes, she recommended it for me.

OK and is it something you're interested in

Definitely. I want to cut my drinking but I'm not sure how to.

Yeah it's really hard innit

I know you wanna do the right thing mate and this might be what you need to at least make a start

Are you ready to put in the hard work

You know you've got people here who care about you as well mate

Cheers bb. I just need to sort out all the tangled up negative crap in my head.

Yeah I know you do mate
You just take as much advantage of all this therapy stuff as you can

Well that was interesting..

What was

The addiction as trauma webinar I did last night.

Oh right did you find it useful

I think so. I think my alcohol addiction is a mental one as have had 11 years+ of traumatic crap in my life since I got sectioned and diagnosed with schizophrenia. I don't think I'm physically addicted to alcohol.

You're already making progress just by working out that

All them little things that you work out go towards the bigger picture mate

I would like for you to elaborate please

Who me

Well, since my late teens I've always liked a drink. It seems to sort my head out and help me relax. It used to be at a reasonable level though and the last 12 years or so it's got out of control. I got sectioned in 2014 after I started getting voices in my head threatening me. The voices aren't too bad at the moment although I'm still getting physical discomfort.

Very spaced out though as usual.
