I'm sorry T overwhelmed you. Some people like making lists, formulating plants, etc - maybe T is that way, and maybe that would work for other clients, but not for YOU. I hope, as someone said above, you'll let her know that instead of feeling helpful, it felt overwhelming.

Just *thinking* about making a change is a step towards making a change. You are doing so many amazing things right now, and they are all part of the path out. Don't give up hope.

When I first started AA a few years ago, I was SO overwhelmed when I looked at the big picture - not being able to drink at the holidays, next summer, at my kids' weddings decades from now. It was enough to make me want to give up. But when I just looked at what was right in front of me - that day, that hour - it felt manageable and I could breathe. This feels like that to me. The big picture is too much, but focusing on the small steps you can do today will eventually get you where you need and deserve to be.
