Hang in there, honey! You're in the best place you can be. It takes some time to get the paperwork and the assessment done. Don't let the addictive voice talk you into leaving! This is the start of the rest of your better life. I've never regretted going inpatient!

Love from Lenina

Unbelievable the stupid security guard was ready to let me walk right out the door. But I'm here and they're admitting me. Do I believe anything will be significantly different? No, not really at this point.

Thinking of you. Hoping you get what you need x

Alaina, please don't give in to the Addictive Voice. Stay and let them take care of you, the worst part, the waiting is over.

I wish I would have died and my dad would have lived

Lenina

Alaina, sometimes we have to do difficult things. Getting help is a big deal. When my grandma passed, I knew I had to honor her memory. I knew she would have wanted me healthy and happy, she would have wanted to me to continue to do my work here.

Please be kind and love yourself. This will pass.

Oh my goodness, Alaina! You have absolutely done the right thing. I am praying that whatever caregivers there are with you are doing their best. All my good vibes are going your way. You can do it, girl!

Alaina, hold on there girl! You can do this I promise. I just got out of a 10 day stay at the hospital in patient. The first day took forever with all sorts of people coming and going, asking questions and then not coming at all. I was ready to walk out that door, I was frustrated, inpatient, scared, and just all around pissed off because it seemed NO ONE cared or took me seriously. But once I was actually admitted I got the help and care I needed. It saved my life and I'm almost (2) weeks sober now. It's not easy but nothing worthwhile ever is. We're here for you and I know you got this. Stay strong beautiful!

So I'm back. I do feel better. The desire to engage in my addiction is gone. At least for now. My meeting was cancelled AGAIN because of the damned weather.

They changed my medications- actually two of them. I really like the new doctor and I'm able to continue with him outside the hospital. He seemed to have a negative opinion of my former doctor too. I'm going back to a therapist I saw a few years ago who I really like.

I have to go back to work immediately- which is annoying given the issues I have there, and also just because I would like to do more to be proactive about my illness.

SoberLeigh

Alaina, I am glad that some real positives came out of the hospital experience.

SoberLeigh

Thanks for letting us know; I had been thinking of you.
