hi again callie -
I was glad to see your update post.
I hope you'll stop over at the 'friends and family' forums - I think there's a wealth of knowledgeable (I can't even spell it, apparently) support over there, and I am hoping you will take time to look after yourself during this time.
You know- there's a saying among folks in the rooms of AA - and that's a psychdoc won't even look at us the first year - because until we've fully sobered & healed up - we exibit every symptom of mental illness known to man!
ALthough it isn't 'hand on the bible' true - it's something to think about. I know my OWN first year of sobriety - was enough to rack up more medical bills than I've had in fifteen years.
Friends and Family is the place for support for you, I think.
