I support this post. OT, you've done so well, stick to it!! Why not stay sober, yet
still go for detox? Worst they can do is send you home with a chuckle, and you might actually make their day [and you're own!] as the best patient ever.
Appt with my doc was way, WAY better than expected. She is SO awesome [young-ish mom of multiple young kids, so she's always on maternity leave! LOL]. She wants to see me again next week. I cried a bit with her nurse when I started to admit, then I balled when I fully admitted all to the doc. I got hugs all around, and told that they are SUPER proud of me. I promptly got an EKG, and all sorts of other tests and appts are set up. They were quite surprised, as I expected. Being secretive is the cornerstone to alcoholism, right?
Then I went to my 3rd AA meeting, which was about step 5. I swore I wouldn't talk there for a long while, but I spilled the beans about my doc appt, saying I've just admitted to another human being, and now it's even on my official medical record. HEAVY SIGH.
It's a funny group. Someone was talking about a guy in AA admitting he'd 'done' a sheep while drunk, and the priest in AA replied that he'd done the whole flock. I was warmly welcomed by many at the end.
Laughter IS perhaps the best medicine.
