first therapist appointment today

[crystaljoyb]

Today I have my first therapist appointment. Have people found therapy to be helpful for opiate addiction? I don't really believe much in therapy... I'm Christian and I feel like they make you focus too much on yourself when I feel like I should be focusing on God.

I went to my first appointment. It wasn't too bad. I'm gonna try going every week for a while. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out why I want to use and hopefully learn better coping skills for stress and anxiety.

Therapy is very helpful.  Working thru your emotions will allow you to be closer to God.  Keep an open mind when you go.
