Do you want to stop your self-defeating behavior(s)?
If the answer is yes then you are on the road to recovery. And only YOU
can make that decision. Simply wanting to stop is only the beginning.
Recovery involves change and change is a process. The first thing you
must change is to STOP the unhealthy behavior (drinking, using,
gambling, enabling, eating, etc).
If it involves drugs or alcohol, detoxification may be necessary. I can
refer you to local detoxification and/or treatment facilities if necessary (for
drugs/alcohol).

| One-on-one attention works: |
Modern technology has expanded the field of counseling. Now we have
access to people around the globe instantly via the internet.
- Everyone is in need of help sometimes whether it is just short-term advice/
direction or help in dealing with a serious emotional problem.
- Counseling provides support, encouragement, gives hope, and provides
accountability for your behaviors.
- Many are too shy or anxious to seek face-to-face counseling and can be
more open and honest when not face-to-face with their counselor.
- Convenience - Online counseling is not limited to "normal" office hours.
You can receive attention on nights and weekends with online
counseling.
- You don't have to drive in traffic to an appointment that you waited for
several weeks for, wait in a lobby, make yourself "presentable", etc.
- Online counseling is less expensive than face-to-face counseling due to
the low overhead costs of the counselor.

| Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take place without change? What then is more pleasing or more suitable to the universal nature? And canst thou take a bath unless the wood undergoes a change? And canst thou be nourished, unless the food undergoes a change? And can anything else that is useful be accomplished without change? Dost thou not see then that for thyself also to change is just the same, and equally necessary for the universal nature? - Marcus Aurelius |
