    knock knock

    Whose there?
    Rehab.
    Rehab who?
    Rehab you.

    I'm sorry, I think I have to do it.
    My big girl pants fell off. Laying by the side of the road with someone's stray shoe. Isn't that wierd how there is just a single shoe in the road? That can be my story of the day when I get home. "I saw a shoe in the road today". How does that happen? Not a pair. Just one. All by itself. Back to topic. I just can't seem to keep them on (big girl pants - I seem to manage the shoes). I had an appt. today and the person made sure noboby was after me because of my last 2 times (I was loud in a quite place) and they didn't know what to expect. This person was very graceful about it and only told me that when I began to emote a bit and I looked at the time and said um.. don't you have someone next? Well, I took the time and poured my heart out. And I mean poured it out. Said things face to face that I have only said here. This person has been concerned for me for 2 months (my escalation period, well, that't low balling) but never said until today. Well, said todayI was better so I guess that's good. But I think I may have to bail and go somewhere. Maybe hubby can take some time off and just babysit me. I REALLY want to do this on my own. I can't seem to get off my arse and onto my feet. I love the word arse.

          I just don't know. You know how I feel about rehab. I need a babysitter. Pill parade. Brush your teeth first so you don't throw it up. Horrid isn't it? And I actually TOLD this person!! And we are not talking confidentiality laws here. But she looked at me and said do you throw up? OMG. She was so kind and understanding and I hope confidential. What a stunning moment for me.

                Oh Green, I know how you feel. I don't even like the idea of seeing a therapist, let alone go to rehab.

                    Greeneyes,

                    Consider carefully. Truly.

                    Detoxing in rehab is so much easier than trying to do it on your own. It really is.

                    However, as I learned, very sadly, it is only a first step.

                    Think about all the steps. The steps of detoxing, learning about what you must go through to think sober, how to live sober, what you want, how you are going to deal with being sober, etc.

                    My insurance only covered two weeks of rehab. My daughter sneeringly called that "enhanced detox" and said she really worried at the time it was not enough.

                    She was right.

                    So, rehab is good, DO NOT misunderstand what I am saying. But, if you are going to commit to something, ANYTHING, make it something that is going to help you reach your final goal. That is sobriety that encompasses happiness, satisfaction with your life and joy.

                    I am working on it.

                    Love,
                    Cindi

                    ps. detox is nothing to laugh at, though, first and hardest step!! omg. eeek.

                      I liked rehab because they detoxed me with meds. No heebie-jeebies. I was there for two weeks. I really worked on not drinking and lasted over 2 1/2 years. The reason I started again was because my doctor told me I could probably handle drinking occasionally. So I had a drink every so often and now I'm back where I started, well -17 days. This was back in the early '90s. I think doctors think different now, ya think?

                      In rehab they take care of everything for you. It was almost scary leaving to the big bad outside. But it gave me a HUGE head start.

                      Good luck! :*

                        Good luck and be true to yourself. If it's rehab that will do it - do it. I know what you mean about being babysat and also not being able to do it yourself.

                        Take good care, you are a worthy person that this shit shouldnt be happening to.

                            I just wanted to check in and see how you are doing and let you know I am thinking of you. I have done a 30 day rehab program and learned LOTS - I was sober for 6 months. I hope you do whatever is right for YOU - but honey sometimes we need to reach out for help and it's OK to ask for help, this is a something that is more powerful than we are and we can't always be able to battle it on our own - praying for you
