Deciding on going to a Rehab for my withdraw
Hi All. 1st post. I'm 51 & a binge drinker. Can go 2-3 weeks & not have a drink (Vodka) Then I hit it for a few days. The rehab is simply killing me. I detox myself & this time I don't think I should.
I'm a little over 24 hours & the worst is behind me. I'm usually fine by the third day. I have insurance, but I don't enjoy the stay. I've been once before & they put me on Lithium. I was there for only three days. But it took me over 10 days to feel right again. Turned me into a complete zombie.
I called a place to see if anyone can take me. Waiting for a response. I went 42 days before I picked up some booze on a Friday. I'm an idiot. I don't even enjoy it anymore, it like drinking water. You need, so you do it. I really thought this time was it. I'm lucky I have a loving wife of 25 years. She just wants mt to stop.
You all have heard this before. I'm just another drunk that hides it extremely well from others now (except my wife) I'm still waiting for a callback.
