Good luck! You can do this! Throw yourself into it and absorb as much as you can. Be a sponge! It's time to change your life! ((((HUGS))))

You'll do fine. Just follow instructions and get everything you can out of the experience. Many people don't get that chance.

Don't be scared, I'll bet they are lovely there. It might even be fun.

It's normal to feel nervous. You'll be fine. It's like I used to tell my daughter when she was nervous about something...it's not like they're going to pull out a gun and shoot you.

Wishing you luck and can't wait to hear from you when you can check in. (((((HUGS)))))

How long will you be at rehab? 30 days? 60 days? 90 days? Longer?

Well I am back...but its ok. I was able to stay at the facility last night and most of today but something with my insurance prevented from a full inpatient stay.

I will be going to outpatient however....looking for an AA meeting to attend tonight.

I know it sounde cliche, but this was my ROCK BOTTOM. Being in that facility...seeing what my life has come to. I am DONE drinking, I have never been more sure of anything in my life.

I will be attempting an AA meeting everyday for the next 90. I will be on here constantly. Reading recover books. I got this. This all has been a HUGE HUGE wake up call. This time is and FEELS different.

Thank you everyone for listening and your kind words.


I'll be around and posting often

I finally had my "ah haa" moment. It was embarrassing, humiliating everything rolled into one. I want to quit for ME this time (as well as my wife and two sons)

I am ok with it now. It is a very peaceful feeling. It really is.
