Congratulations on 2 months Updownaround. That's awesome.

I had a good meeting with my addictions Dr. yesterday. The addictions program at that hospital is undergoing massive changes, and cuts. So one of the groups that I regularly went to has been cancelled completely. I'm sad to lose that source of support.

She asked me if I wanted to repeat their IOP program and I said no. I've been in treatment 7 times and don't feel I need more, I know what to do, it's just a question of doing it. She did however tell me about 2 new groups I might be interested in. One is a psychoeducational group about addictions and mental illness. (Theyre trying to integrate the psychiatric and addictions programs more). The other group is a stress management / introduction to mindfulness group run by a facilitator who I really like. I was lucky I got into both. So now I'll have 2 touchpoints a week with the rehab/hospital, which will both help me stay sober, and give my week some routine through the fall. Both groups run for 12 weeks.

So onto Day 5
