I have an appointment with the intake counselor at the addictions clinic in four hours. If I'm being fully honest, I'm already planning on going to the liquor store on my way home. I am very apprehensive about what to expect, as I've never been to this particular clinic before. It's a public clinic attached to the local hospital that sees patients on an outpatient basis. I hope the clinician doesn't recommend residential treatment, as I'm not currently able to take extended time off work due to obligations at work. But we'll see how it goes.
