I'm going to my first counseling appt. tonight.  I'm not sure what to expect and am feeling pretty nervous.  I didn't go anywhere last night and will not go out drinking tonight, even though Tuesdays have become a bit of a thing lately. What?  Tuesday drinking is "a thing" now?  That can't be right.  I have never really talked to a counselor about my drinking.  I've gone for other things in the past, usually things that are exacerbated by drinking but always actively avoided talking about drinking.  It's time to just throw it out there and see what an impartial party says about it.
