I called the Addictions Foundation this morning to inquire whether the recovery group on Tuesdays is still active, and it is. She said that because I haven’t seen a counsellor in 6 months, that my file is about to close, so I need to come in today and do a new intake. My old counsellor doesn’t work out of that building anymore so I need to get another counsellor assigned to me. I like the recovery group as you are asked how your week was, and there is no pressure, only support. I am feeling so much better emotionally today as I have concrete things to do today and for the next three days after that. My Aunt told me to go for a walk when I’m not feeling well emotionally. Sometimes the most obvious things to do aren’t so obvious to me. Because I had nothing concrete to do with my time in the city, I was feeling that my life was no different than it was in the country.
