I've been on PC a long time and I have noticed a change in growlithing's responses. She does listen to advice even though she may still need to work on saying "thanks, I'll consider it" but I have noticed changes so I hope she gets credit for that.

It does help, growlithing, when you let people know that you tried their advice (I know that you do try it) otherwise people get the impression that you are just saying "I can't"-they don't realize the work you have done.

Compared to a year ago, working two jobs is a big deal. Making active efforts to find a T are a big deal (maybe just set a deadline for yourself?) Having regular meetings with LCM are a big deal. Even seeing the crappy school intern is something.

I do share others' concern w/the alcohol. Mostly because my parents are "functional" alcoholics. It makes everything worse. I care, and I don't want to see you kicked out of school and living with your abusive family.

Can you set yourself a goal of meeting with 1 potential T for an interview in the next week?
