You need to learn how to ask questions without immediately suggesting that someone not answer. You'll probably get more answers that way, and all you risk is someone telling you to quit being so nosy.
But yeah, I guess it is. Kinda. I haven't really been going to this one for very long. The first ones didn't really help that much, they just gave me some pills and told me to come back every so often so they could make sure I was still sober and not trying to kill myself, and they gave me a whole bunch of phone numbers to crisis lines and shit. Which of course I immediately ignored and lost. The dude I'm going to now is different, though, he's pretty good... he like... gets me to tell him shit I want to accomplish then helps me figure it out into little steps and then tells me which ones to do in which order. So that is kind of helping. I mean he got me to go back to school so that's neat...
