Well i managed to get through the weekend, i reached out to a friend and she was kind to me over the weekend which helped me with urges and made it possible for me to maintain abstinence. Groups are going well, which is good and i have had my first phone call appointment with pain management, they also offer CBT which i will be involving myself with as it is a good source of information that can help me.
I have an appointment with my doctor in two weeks as i i would like a referral for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) which is a standard treatment for those who suffer for CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I had the treatment when i was in a dual diagnosis rehab in 2016, among other therapies it proved to be successful and made a huge difference in my behaviour in response to dealing with past traumas.
There is a twelve month waiting list and it is expensive so i will not hold my breath, although i do have faith, i know times have changed and funding is low so i will be patient and see what happens.
