Luv...

Just my opionion. The time to act is NOW. Unless lenair can get you in immediately, go to rehab. You can still make an appointment with Lenair (I know you cannot afford both) but you need something immediately. You sound ready. And desparate. I, like everyone else here, wants to see you in a better place. We all care so much for you. Life can and WILL turn around for you sweetie, but only if you do what you can to get yourself better, which right now is getting help.

If you don't know how to find a rehab...call your insurance (if you have). I guess you could also call AA in the phone book, but I think through insurance you will have choices which may include less traditional 12 step options (if that is what you may want).

Do you have someone to be with you now? A friend? someone?

Thinking and praying for you Luv

Hi, Luv.. I posted this on your support thread, but wanted to post it here too...

__________________________________________________ _________________________________

You have all the support I can send your way. Please call a freind from AA. I know you are planning to call Lenair, but that is likely months away. Even Rehab is most likely at least weeks or days away. You need to do something TODAY.

Call one of your friends from AA and see if they can get you some support today.

You are so loved here, and we are all here to help, but right now you need physical support.

I love you, sweetie... Please take care and make the call, OK?

Luv,
I wrote this on the 30 day thread. I agree with Lucy, you need to act now. You also need to not drink anymore today. You have one of the most important jobs of your life today. You need to be clear to get this done.

Another good resource is your County Mental Health Org. Call them and you should be able to learn about low cost or not cost programs. Today, your sole focus needs to be to find a rehab and get help.

Take Care

LUV - I can't add anymore than what the others have said, really.

I, for one know you are NOT helpless. You have shown great strength through out the past year with everything you had on your plate.

I am assuming once your mama left things fell apart because you didn't have to be the 'strong' one every moment of the day so your guard came down.

Rock bottom sucks - so many of us have been there. IMHO you should go and see your doctor or a doctor in an ER today. Tell them you need to get into a rehab. Take a leave of absense from your employer (you can say it is stress - you have had a lot), and take this time that your kids are with their dad and get back onto the road of recovery.

We all are pulling for you. Dig down deep, and pull out that strong woman that seems to be temporarily buried under all of the crap.

A lot of the big hospitals around my area have dependency ( detox ) floors. In patient and out. I chose in and it was the best move I ever made. Lots of meeting involved.

Check the ones in your area. You might be surprised.

I know you may not want to hear this but YOU have to take action and put yourself and your own needs first right now. SELFISH?? So fucking what! you are never going to recover if you don't. We as alcoholics (I use the term loosely) have centered our lives and our families around our drinking and no matter how much we love them drink will always be our number one priority. I'm not saying you don't love your kids LUV as I know like me you would probably die for them but spending some time in rehab and away from them is only going to make you a better person and and even greater mum to them in the future. It's very easy to look at the negative side of things and feelings like "I have lost EVERYTHING" and catastrophising things are only going to make you feel even worse I guess. Don't be to quick to make judgments on yourself (easier said than done I know!!). You have realised nothing else is working for you and rehab maybe your best option so you are being positive in realising this. Just remember rehab is only going to work if you put in the work yourself while you are there. There is still no quick fix in rehab. There are a lot of treatment centers who tend to think otherwise so make sure you find one that is not just going to detox you then 12 step you out the door after a few weeks telling you you are cured of your illness.

Luv I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm being a bit tough but lets be honest here nothing else is working and it is time to start fighting and living again; the time for mollycoddling is over. You know I only have your best interests at heart here, as does everyone else who knows you on here, and I only want to see you get better for you and your kids sake. I've wasted the best part of 10 years through drinking and I was disgusted at myself for being a drunk around my daughter and missing out on things with her. I was that drunk once that I actually sat on her while she was sleeping on the couch as a baby and although I had so much regret and guilt over it it still didn't stop me drinking for a further 2 and a half years till I finally hit the bottom. You would of thought that incident would of been enough for me to see the error of my ways and stop drinking there and then; I did for a few weeks then I was back at square one drinking again. The hold drink had over me was so powerful that I thought I would never be able to give it up completely but I have done it through being hard on myself more than anything. There are days I think "why do I need to keep fighting this?" Evey day is another battle and I can't be arsed at times but I only have to remember the last great time I spent with my daughter and seeing her smiling laughing face makes me see things that much clearer. I have 2 options at the moment. I can return to my drinking and probably only see my daughter through supervised visits (If I'm lucky!!) or I can NOT drink and spend what little time I do have with her making her life wonderful and fun. That's why I keep fighting and hopefully one day soon it will become less of a fight.

My Love and all the happiness in the world to you :l
