My doc prescribed me some Ativan to help with the withdrawals in the meantime. So far it's really been helping. I guess in the past I've never sought help withdrawals because I felt like it was the appropriate punishment.
Anyhoo. Things are falling in place - my doc is completing paperwork for my employer, my Auxiliary team are going to send me an email in regards to returning uniform, etc.
I went to AA last night. I'm quite familiar to all the locals meetings at this point.
My sis and her fiancee are between places right now, so they're going to apartment and cat-sit for while I'm gone.
My gf broke our self-imposed estrangement to see how I was doing. I know it's breaking the 'rules', but it felt so nice to hear from her. I'd hate to lose her because of all of this.
