Random Annoyance

Tweet

I wrote here years back a bit about my encounters with the county mental health services. All has been quiet for quite a bit - good caseworker, etc. I even managed to get an individual therapist there when usually there is a 2-3 year wait and access to group therapy. The only issue is, I’ve had to trade a little bit of my sanity for the groups! Since I had a problem with pain pills years ago, the group therapists take issue with me having a couple drinks with friends once or twice a month. Luckily the individual therapist agrees with me that it’s not a problem - but the groups (which aren’t substance abuse focuses) are always awkward when they push me for my “sober date”.
