sys : (Information) My daughter has a sponsor, it's an important part of AA (and optional). Her sponsor has been clean for over 20 years. She is there to support my daughter, and help her work her way through learning the 12 steps. Beacuse she's been through it, her sponsor is very understanding and supportive.
usr : Alright, Don't know if I need one yet. Will see eventually how it goes in AA.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) I wish you all the best in your journey. You are doing all the right things in both recognizing that you have a problem, and seeking information on ways to deal with it. I admire your insight.
usr : Thank you very much for you help. Now I know what I have to do. All the best to you.

The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about shame regarding a/an Alcohol Abuse. The seeker says
"I am drinkin beers almost every day". | usr : Good morning
sys : (Others) Hello, good morning! How are you today?
usr : Not too bad just wanted to talk with you about my alcohol addiction if you don't mind.
sys : (Others) I would be happy to listen and help if I can :)
sys : (Question) When did you notice you had a problem with alcohol?
usr : The thing is I am drinking beer almost every day since I started to work from home. And with weather so nice in upcoming weeks I can't see myself stop drinking.
sys : (Question) How many beer a day do you typically drink?
usr : At least 4 pints. A lot of money goes on drinks as well.
sys : (Restatement or Paraphrasing) I see. So if I understand correctly, you are concerned because you are drinking more than you used to, more frequently, and you are afraid you cannot stop? And it's affecting you financially?
usr : Yes, that's right. And I know I should stop but I just got addicted.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) It's really great that you have the insight to see that it may be a problem...that awareness is the most important first step!
usr : Thank you for understanding
sys : (Self-disclosure) I haven't experienced addictions but I have been supporting my daughter with her addiction for many years, and I have seen how challenging it's been for her.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) She has found AA very helpful, and gets a lot of support from her peers there. Have you tried going to an AA meeting?
usr : I think I am not quite confident in going somewhere in person. I don't want other people to see my addiction problem
sys : (Information) The thing about AA is everyone in the room will be understanding and nonjudgemental and supportive. And you can learn from them what has worked for them. And it's okay to sit quietly and just listen, you are not forced to participate actively.
sys : (Information) And...it's anonymous! They have a code, outside meetings nobody is to disclose that you were there.
usr : To be fair I am scared also to go such places. If somebody from work will see me I would get in real trouble as I am working from home and drinking.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I can understand that being scary, keeping your job is essential.
sys : (Question) Whereabouts are you? (I'm in CAnada)
usr : I am in UK.
usr : Maybe you know some online courses you are aware of?
sys : (Information) Oh!! I just remembered. My daughter goes to meetings virtually because of the pandemic. I am pretty sure there would also be virtual AA meetings in the UK, via Zoom
usr : Oh that's great I will try then. Do you know if there are any fees?
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Hmm I am afraid I don't, have you tried a google search? That's a great idea, to find an online program of some sort, if AA does not appeal to you. And no, there are no fees, AA is completely free.
sys : (Information) And, you can get a sponsor, do you know about that?
usr : What do you mean by a sponsor?
sys : (Information) My daughter has a sponsor, it's an important part of AA (and optional). Her sponsor has been clean for over 20 years.

usr : I try not to think about the situation, because I don't see him since he lives in another state. But I can't get everything out of my mind. And yes I have my husband to talk to, that helps some. It's when I'm trying to sleep or when my husband isn't home that's the worst for me.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) You are feeling the way anybody in your situation would fee like. It must be helpful to have a husband who listens and can be supportive when he is there.
sys : (Question) Have you always had sleep issues?
usr : It does help but he's as frustrated and upset as I am. I can't sleep at night for dwelling on everything and I don't know how to stop the thoughts about all the terrible things that could happen.
usr : When I'm upset about something I cannot sleep but if I'm in a good state of mind I sleep well.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) Being upset can make someones mind race and make it really difficult to rest or get any sleep at all.
sys : (Question) Have you ever gone through anything like this before?
usr : Yes I've been dealing with my son's addiction and recovery and relapses for the last three years.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I can relate to being close to someone who is addicted. It can feel very sad and lonely at times. I would want to change the person in my life but just has to learn to let go instead. It is a process that takes years to learn.
usr : I am realizing that more every day. If it wasn't my son and just a good friend I would probably end the relationship but a mother can't do that to her own children, you know what I mean?
usr : And you are so right. I can't change or control him, I can only change and control myself and my responses to him. That is so difficult to do.
sys : (Affirmation and Reassurance) Yes, I understand how it can feel like our children are always our babies and we want to fix everything for them. Sometimes it feels like we can change them or re raise them if we just do more for them.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) Have you had the chance to speak to a close friend or pastor about this situation?
usr : Not really. Most of my friends haven't dealt with that so they don't really understand what I am going through, or even what my son is going through. But you're right, I have to learn to let go and let him fix his own problems with no intereference from me.
sys : (Providing Suggestions) You are very self aware and have good insight. I notice that you are very in touch with your feelings. You can use writing as a way to release emotions and express yourself, as you are now.
usr : Thank you, I will try that. Like a journal maybe?
sys : (Information) Yes, I can recommend a journal on Amazon that I also use. Thank you for sharing with me today.

### Dialogue background ###
The following is a conversation between a supporter and a seeker about anxiety regarding a/an ongoing depression. The seeker says
"My son is a recovering meth addict and has relapsed again. After two weeks of using he admitted himself back into rehab as he as done many times in the past without a lot of success. I am afraid it will be the same this time, that he will get out of rehab and then start using again.". | sys : (Question) HI, how are you today?
usr : I am not doing well. I am very worried about my son's chances of recovery after so many relapses and frustrated because I know there is really nothing I can do to change things for him.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) You must be very frustrated from feeling unable to do something.
usr : I am. He is a different person when he's not on drugs but when he is using he can get really mean and he scares me.
sys : (Self-disclosure) I remember when my mother was having end of life mental declining issues. I understand feeling as if the person is changing and having unusual moods and mood swings.

usr : The freedoms are still there but the fear of getting the virus stops people from normal life.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I think it will pass eventually, but who knows when. It feels like every where you look things are falling apart sometimes. What kind of place do you live in?
usr : Currently I live in a hotel getting ready to travel to another state. What about you?
sys : (Reflection of feelings) You're so right.... I miss not fearing the virus. I don't fear at as much as I did, but I fear giving it to a loved one. Do you travel a lot for work?
usr : No for personal reasons. I just find the disparity between wearing the mask in some states is not as demanding s others. Here the masks do not seem to be mandatory, but 100 miles and it is necessary.
sys : (Others) Some people are on lockdowns, I'm nervous about our income in the next few months with the talk of more stay at home orders. I know it feels like itll be like this forever but I really dont believe it will. It may get worse before it gets better but I think things will go back to normal eventually.
usr : I think we are in a long period of recovery because the country has too many laws in different states that are causing demands on the health system.
sys : (Others) I have traveled states recently and the difference is crazy! I went through Tennessee, missippi, and alabama and stopped a few times.. some places are just going on like normal, hardly any masks.. in arkansas you never see anyone indoors without one.
usr : Too much politics behand the virus and helping the people.
usr : Florida is mandatory, but Georgia is lacks. Tennessee is mandatory but other states are not as caring.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) I totally agree. And you never know what is true or not. Its stressful. I'm in georgia now and most people do not wear them unless asked. I've only been required to at dr appointment. Is it mandatory where you are now?
usr : No except at WalMart
usr : Georgia has a high virus rate, yet no mandatory masks.
sys : (Others) There are signs here but half the shoppers dont wear them. I think people here dont fear it as much as other places.
usr : There is no mandatory requirement for the mask, especially at the convenient stores.
usr : You walk in and the employees don't even wear them. The screens aren't going to stop the spread.
sys : (Reflection of feelings) So you travel because you want to? YES the gas station closest to me.... I have been in there every other day recently and never seen a person in a mask. The employees at the dollar general close to me dont wear them either. I dont think it will either honestly. Sometimes I feel guilty if I'm not wearing one. The uncertainty of everything gets to me.
usr : I wear mine for my own protection. What about you?
usr : I have to travel to Virginia soon and I want to arrive clean
usr : I am only traveling now because of issues otherwise I would be in FLorida
usr : I miss the bneaches
sys : (Others) I wear mine to protect other people.... I do have health issues that could complicate things but I dont thing it will stop me from getting it.
