Thumbs up finally out patient therapy begins.....

After numerous calling and leaving messages,I finally got a program to respond back,it felt like I was talking to God during our brief phone conversation.I start tomorrow at 4pm,and cant freggin wait!!!! im sure some of ya know I had some slips lately because I swore I wouldnt come here for chit chat or sympathy visits.I have sooooo much self-mending to do,its so much more than just stopping drinking,im sure ya know what I mean.I'll be in touch,and BTW,im sober today.

Even though I have not responded much, I have been hoping that everything would work out for you Homer. I think you will have your own cheering section!!!!

Patrick I am very happy for you!!!!! You still have my number, so you know you can call if you need to talk.

Good advice up above, especially from Taz.

Follow directions, your sobriety will go smoother.

Love and hugs,

I wish you well Patrick,

Once I really understood that I had a disease, and that I could no more stop drinking any more than I could control my bladder or bowels, It was actually a relief.

So Thats what's wrong with me!

That is when the work began for real.
