Is it working?

Hanging with a friend tonight, we had several margaritas.

I was thanking him for some advice he gave me, and telling him stories of an interesting weekend and a girl. (Later on that, too late now)

I got around to mentioning that I will be going to therapy now every week, as opposed to every other week.

He asked if it was working.

I said, I thought so. I don't really know.

He asked what I had discovered.

I told him so.

He said that all my friends have been telling me that anyways. Why the therapist?

He said that he thinks I am the very same person he has always known. Faults and weakness and all.

I wonder. Am I getting better? Am I not?

I don't know. I think so, but I can't really prove it in any way.

It is something I think of often. When is it done? When am I better? Is it ever done? Do I ever get better?

I think I will have to wait some more. I mean if I have a complex for 25 years, well then, how long does it take to erase that? Or can you not erase it?

Is the whole point just making you aware of it, and then trying to not fall into the same traps. Either way, I don't know if I have achieved anything in that regard.

Well, let's give this a go, and see how it works.
