    Beaten, Working Toward Recovery Chapter 5

    Jacq turned her full attention toward Alice. “I’m sure you don’t have a problem, but how about telling me exactly what you consider not into doing drugs.” Alice wanted to choke Dana at that moment, thinking now she had to convince the therapist she did not have a drug problem. “I have a job, I do go out with my friends and drink, but that is not every night, and most nights I only have a drink or two. I do smoke pot recreationally, once again not every day, and not that much. As for coke, that was probably the first time in months, maybe even more then a year since the last time I did some. I do not have a problem with prescriptions, these are the first prescriptions I’ve taken in years, because I’m usually a pretty healthy person, so no matter what Dana implied or thinks, I don’t have any kind of drug problem.”

    Jacq was satisfied with Alice’s response and she really did not think this woman in front of her had a drug problem either. “OK, let’s get into the trouble sleeping first, then if we have time maybe we can talk about the separation anxiety. I gathered from what I’ve heard Alice you’ve been able to sleep, with the help of your prescriptions, right?” Alice nodded. “That and other things.”

    Jacq then turned to Dana. “Alice mentioned you’re having problems sleeping, what are you doing to help yourself?” Dana could feel her face reddening; well she guessed it was her turn. “I sleep with Alice.” Alice knew this was serious, but she could not help it, as she lightly laughed at Dana’s response. “She’s my nightmare slayer.”

    Jacq looked at the two, “so you two are a couple?” Both ladies replied, “No.” At the same time. Dana looked down at her hands while Alice explained. “We’re sleeping together, but we’re not sleeping together.” Alice was waving her in a circular motion letting the therapist know what she meant. “I don’t sleep with friends.” Dana did not respond she just sat there looking at her hands.

    Jacq notice the time she had with these two was coming to an end, and she wanted to end the session on a positive note. “Ladies why don’t we try a few exercises this week. Alice why do not you try taking your medications like your Doctor prescribed; only take the sleeping pills at night if you really feel you need them. Also if you start having nightmares, talk to Dana, or write them down so we can talk about them in the next session. Dana I want you to continue to doing things without Alice, but I want you to take a notebook with you and write down what you are feeling when you start feeling any anxiety.

    1. Deb!! I love ur writin! its fantastic! I love this story line its so serious yet with alices sense of humour in with it a bit it makes it fantastic! I love the relationship u have goin on between alice and dana its amazin!

    2. I think I told you this before but let me do this here. The things I enjoyed most about this chapter:
      – The touches of fluff and humor were great, it evens out the pain of the subject and true to life

      – I’ve always thought you did a great job capturing not only Alice’s fear but the impact it has on Dana as well. The protective nature of Dana was perfectly expressed.

      – The moment that Alice felt her fears set in at the beach was spot on and real.

      – Last but not least, Dana thoughts about the treadmill was so true cause that’s exactly how I felt when I have to run indoors lol.

    3. wow Debs. i’m starting to dread the ‘comment box’ cause i feel like i keep writing the same thing to you but really- this story is wonderfully concieved and delivered. I am hanging on every word- can’t wait to see where you take them. and HOW do you make such a painful experience so romantic?
