Terry Therapy Sessions VIII & IX

I didn't get around to saying much about the last session with my therapist.

Session VIII
About the only thing I remember us hitting on is my move. The move away from King of the Hill land is at the top of my list once I get my driver's license back.

I told her how my mother just doesn't understand why I want to move. I made the decision not to mention it to my mother anymore. I'll just give her my new address and that's it. Terry said I did the right thing. I'm not answerable to her.

Session IX
First thing we talked about was how everything is going. All is well.

She then asked me how my first year of sobriety is. I said good. She reinforced to me how big a step I made. Even though I didn't celebrate it that I should be proud of what I've accomplished. And I am. She said it's easy for someone not to stay sober and that I chose the harder path.

We then hit on Violet's return to Houston. I told her that she's back in town but she didn't take me up on my offer to live with me until she got her shit together. I told her I'm more her therapist. Terry says that's great since I don't have to put up with her. That it's okay that I'm her moral support. Everyone needs that.

Also I told her I'm thinking of more things to do once I get mobile again. I plan on traveling Texas and maybe Louisiana to see various museums. Along with that I also said I'm thinking of taking up photography as a hobby. I already have the camera I want to take to football games.

Finally I told her how the case manager from work pissed me off. The Jolly Bengali told me to talk to Terry about how to improve my social life. I got pissed off but held my tongue. The thought came to me that Terry is my therapist not fucking Julie the cruise director from the Love Boat. Terry laughed her ass off. Terry said it was good that I held my tongue. It's the lack of driving privileges that's holding me back. Terry agreed and said what does the Bengali want. She said just ignore her and keep doing what I'm doing.

And that's all for now folks. Take care,
The Pope
