It's easy for therapists to blame ex addicts ( sorry I don't like labelling) and say you took the easy way out. That to me is bull****! I am glad you got away from this therapist, his behaviour was harmful. I don't know a lot about addictions and I don't work with addicts but I know that when there is a relapse you take it seriously. It has repercussions for everyone who knows the person. I can see how helpful the AA programme is because they have dedicated sponsors who are there for continued support and encouragement. Therapy cannot provide that and an hour a week is not enough for a lot of people but especially someone who is struggling with an addiction.
