Thanks all. I'm at 60 hours sober.

I have NO intention of drinking - and not a craving to do so.
Tomorrow I'll be at the 72 hour mark and hopefully past the danger zone.

I don't put the responsibility of my sobriety on anyone by myself - don't worry.

The problem is that the system here is incredibly frustrating to navigate and without money the help you can get is negligible.

Every social worker I talk to seems lost. Every doctor I talk to tells me something different or wants to prescribe me a different drug. I feel very confused, dismissed and in awe at the conflicting information I'm receiving from each doctor. All telling me that the previous doctors were wrong/had no idea what they were talking about. I don't know who to believe at this point.

I am going to go to AA and see what advice I can find there - plus I have an appointment with a psychiatrist in addition to my regular therapist.

I need to really figure out why I relapsed in the past and why I didn't protect myself from exactly what I knew was hurting me.

Thank you all for posting - it's incredibly helpful to have people to talk to who have experience in this.
