Good on you for coming clean! That first hurdle can be hard. I went to my first few therapy sessions hammered and my therapist only heard of it when we had agreed to work together and it was all safe. That was over three years ago and I’m glad I put in the work I did. Therapy cannot work with one leg still in our addiction. If there’s always that escape, we won’t face ourselves in therapy like we need to. I also have had depression and anxiety for the majority of my life. I feel you. Went through a 2year therapy when I was younger and before sobriety, did nothing for me. I wish you all the best!
