    My first day of outpatient treatment

    Hello, I was going to post this in subs, but maybe it can help anyone who hasn't subscribed.

    I started my outpatient treatment today and it felt very empowering to do something so apparent and so responsible for my recovery. I am in a very small group with a high functioning group of alcoholics. I immediately related to a younger version of myself with the same husband controlling issues. I think we can help each other.

    However, this is change and that always triggers me. When I was with hubby in ICU I developed horrible neck and shoulder pain with what I feel is a pinched nerve, due to extreme tension and his treatment of me. It's hard to push back when your spouse is receiving blood and dilaudin!

    I still have the pain during the night and first thing in the a.m. but a warm shower helps alot. I felt like drinking when I came home, but thanks to the antabuse, I wasn't able to. My doc will see me Wednesday.

    However, I have digressed. This post is about how surrendering to any patient care is positive.

    My first day of outpatient treatment

    Hi All
    SK it is good taking the steps you need to get al out of your life. This site is not going to do it for all. This shows the commitment you have to getting sober. I know if I hadn't found success here I would have not stopped in searching for the key. Their are many roads and treatments to help us. You will succeed. I am sure of it.

      Caysea, thank you. I saw your struggles and I'm so happy for you in sobriety, even though you lost and awful lot of material things, you have gained spiritually.

      I applaud you for your struggle, I know it is so difficult to finally surrender to any kind of treatment.

      I wish you the very best, and please pm me.
