Shrinks/counselors are a mind fuckers. Thanks though for the good intentions behind the suggestion. I know why I drank.
I guess it depends on who you get.
I had a really cool older bloke. He helped me forgive and reconnect with my dad's side of the family. Fixed my sleeping issues. And had me work on "mindfullness", which is basically meditation without all the voodoo rubbish. Really worthwhile.
But that said, there are stories out there that the reason for all the US school shootings are CIA/deep-state connected psychologists, psychiatrists (the ones that prescribe drugs), and counsellors that brainwash loser kids into shooting up their class mates.
But if you know why you drank though, then that's half the battle, and the chances of you staying sober are much greater. I have faith that you'll make it to two months, 6 months, a year, and even for the rest of your life if that's what you're after. Good luck brother.
From what I've heard you are very lucky and got one who actually wanted to help and didn't just see a paycheck. I'd get the new high score in school shooting ;)
Haha, well it wouldn't be that hard considering your competition! (hooktube.com) (fast forward to 27m, 20s). youtube link (youtube.com).
It may have helped that I told him that I was only going to there for 3 months tops (because I was leaving for China), and I actually bought a pen and paper, and wrote shit down and took notes. I was surprised that no one else does that apparently.
