How often did I hear, early on in my sober journey, "Hey it's ok, we'll just have one." There's no such thing as just one for me; if I could have just one i wouldn't be an alcoholic, but I cannot stop at one and therein lies the problem. One is never enough and getting started will definitely end poorly. I am glad that your daughter Knows and Protects herself from those who steer her in the wrong direction-like that wack-o shrink.Lynda Halliger Otvos (Lynda M O)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08938791116446859160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915568910466832849.post-85334015877259934422012-01-24T13:13:34.633-06:002012-01-24T13:13:34.633-06:00I don't think many shrinks understand alcoholi...I don't think many shrinks understand alcoholism. I went for years to one who was alcoholic and he never connected the dots that my anger was related to alcoholism. Finally, I went to a psychologist who understood the pain of living with alcoholism.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915568910466832849.post-46647999583251430602012-01-24T10:13:51.981-06:002012-01-24T10:13:51.981-06:00I sleep with a little 10 pound dog and she STILL t...I sleep with a little 10 pound dog and she STILL tries to hog the bed and affects my sleep... I don't know how you do it with a Great Dane!!!! :)<br />I am sorry the shrink sucks - for ME as a codependent that would be scary...

I have to sit and read in the evenings with my huge dog sprawled across my lap while I get pins and needles, cramps in my thighs and a crushing pain in my lower back. He just gives me a happy look once in a while. <br /><br />I wouldn't share a bed with the husband though. The dog needs more space.Mary LAhttp://louisey.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915568910466832849.post-78574691939504946162012-01-24T07:19:55.876-06:002012-01-24T07:19:55.876-06:00Andrew felt every one of his psychs were idiots.

I learned the hard way he would have to figure it out on his own. <br /><br />I also learned every person's situation is different. It goes against my nature not to offer advice, but I trust Pammie Poteet, SD, and God will find a solution beyond my comprehension.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496172669599418214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915568910466832849.post-61246414832575053242012-01-24T06:34:28.307-06:002012-01-24T06:34:28.307-06:00If that doc is part of a practice, they might want...If that doc is part of a practice, they might want to know about her extremely dangerous advice. <br /><br />But I really believe that God works for good for those who are striving towards him - your daughter sounds like one.
