So now I'm trying the tapering thing (again), but this time I am being ABSOLUTELY sure to take my meds and the supplements (though I'm currently sucking at the exercise thing). I do listen to meditation tapes each night, though not the ones from MWO. I'm only on day 3 of trying this method, but I swear I am drinking less than normal. How much less? I couldn't say for sure, as my neighbor doles it out to me in small increments. I just know it's less. And I also know that I went for at least five hours without a swig, and I NEVER would have been able to do that before.
So I am hopeful.
There was the sweetest social worker at the detox place. She said she does yoga classes at the Y here in town once a week, and she thought I'd qualify for a scholarship. I looked it up online, and sure enough, I do! So I'll be signing up for that.
I have this big black cloud hanging over me, though, and I'm hoping someone has some words of wisdom. Keep in mind that it is DAMNED NEAR IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO MAKE A PHONE CALL. I have about eight or ten "pressing" issues that need to be dealt with. The sooner they are dealt with, the better I will feel. But I feel like I DESPERATELY need help in dealing with them--a couple issues would/should involve an attorney, other issues mostly need an advocate who doesn't freeze when spoken to. Does anyone have any ideas where I might find such services?
Addendum: Let me just add that finding a therapist is pretty much out of the question. Insurance reasons. I can explain further if need be, but don't immediately recommend therapy. Sets me off like a full-fledged Fourth-of-July sparkling, banging rocket.
Love and hugs and AF days ahead for all of you.
