Annabelle - During my first year of therapy, I was working in the writing/research position -- alone a lot, having to be self-motivated. I had to fight this desire to daydream about my p-doc and relive our sessions. I think I got through it mostly because I started imagining my p-doc being in the next room, aware of me and proud of me for getting things done. But it was hard. I don't know how I managed not to get fired.
This living situation you're in sounds awful. Keep trying OA. They are not as well organized as AA with tons of volunteers to answer phones and all. Do they have a website with meeting lists? You can hang on. It's not that much longer.
