IP Rehab

[gettinitright]

Had 5 days and blew it. I cant seem to get my head around it. I KNOW what to do, I am just not getting there. I really am considering IP rehab. Like a 30 day program. I am so sick of being sick!!! Any thoughts on a IP program? I have literally tried everything under the sun.

I tell my daughter I think I need IP rehab and she's pissed at me. She said I'm never getting better and if I wanted to I could stop.

People in the US will be able to give better advice on IP rehab.
We don't usually have that option here in New Zealand - there are very few IP rehab facilities and its not an option under our health care.

You can become sober and you should never give up.
Even with IP care you can't stay there forever - but maybe the break there will give you the space to really commit to this - receive the counselling and support.

I am interested also to hear other people's views on IP care.

be kind to yourself - and on this one - your daughter is wrong. Its not just willpower and you need support (not necessarily IP) - as well as an inner commitment to kick the beast.

Best wishes and good luck (although its not luck is it?)

First of all, great job on posting. You are doing the right thing in reaching out to your friends here- we all understand!
I am so sorry about your daughter's words to you- she just does not understand. We all have family members and friends that respond this way and it is very hurtful. The MWO group knows that these words are not true. If you did not want to quit, you would not be posting here or considering going to IP rehab.
I, personally have not used IP rehab at this point, but I know it has helped many people. I am sure someone who can give you more info on it will be on soon to help give you some insight.. I just wanted to respond to let you know that we all understand your situation and are here for you anytime you need us...

Thank you both. I want to quit. I'm just trying to figure out what I need to do to prevent a relapse again. I had good sober time in. (2yrs) my daughter doesn't understand. Plus, she's sick of seeing me sick and failing. I get her comment. To her it seems easy because she's not an alcoholic.

Oh Mama, I already did that. I have tried so many things. Financing it is an issue. I have some calls out on some that aren't as costly as others.

Al is such an issue here in our state that it is very hard to get help. We are number three in the US for alcoholism. Waiting lines at all the ip facilities I called today. I'm sober and I will find help.

I'm not giving up because if I do I mine as well crawl in a coffin. I'm not ready to do that. I'm going to get this again. I know where I fell, just figuring out how yo get back where I was. Life is tough. But, ALmakes it 100 times worse. My daughters words hurt but I do understand them.

IP Rehab

Spent a good part of the day researching rehab programs. My God it takes an act of congress and a million dollars. Regrouping. I did it before with Antabuse, MWO, and getting active at church. I will do it again.
