I really like my group mediator, Kim, and I would like to reach out and see if she's available to individual therapy. Is there a way to go about this? I'm still learning how to navigate the site. I know I need to pay more and that's not a problem

Hi everyone - I just wanted to share because it helps me feel better and it also really helps me when someone else has shared and I can relate to their story. Tonight I'm feeling particularly sad and struggling to resist the usual triggers that set me to drink - particularly loneliness and feelings of worthlessness. I was sober for about four days before this and I had mild symptoms of withdrawal which was a sad shock to me as I had not realized how dependent my body was on alcohol up until this point. It was really really hard not to drink for four days. I find that sharing in group in really helps and it's comforting to be encouraged by other people with the same struggles as mine. I also really like the two group mediators and feel like they're really on our side. I feel like this program has a lot of promise for me and I look forward to hearing more people's stories and connecting with other people who are looking to control of abstain successfully from alcohol. 

Hi! Glad to be here - I'm a high functioning alcoholic who hasn't hit rock bottom, but I can myself on the way there. I've been averaging a bottle of wine a night for almost ten years and it's slowly starting to creep up to two. I'm 35 and single and could really use some support. I've tried to quit very seriously three times.
