Thanks everyone. I'm here and I'm really anxious and depressed. I'm in the ER and probably will be there for a while.

At least 7 days will go by without me participating in my addiction. I haven't been able to do that on my own.

I'm dreading the part where I have to call everyone...work wise.

Being in a hospital is weird. It's the first time I've been in one since my dad died. Not a good feeling, hearing all these machines and all that...

It's a BIG step forward to seek help as you have done. Hold onto that truth and grow from there. You will be better soon.

I hope the doctors are nice. I drove out here because I have a major problem with the doctor who goes to the hospital by my house. He accused me of lying and looking for an excuse when I told him I was too depressed to go to work. If he had actually listened and tried to help me...maybe we wouldn't be here.

It's really a shame, because I really liked his nurse practitioners and the hospital in general.

I've had that happen too - some doctors have little experience with alcoholism. I hope they treat you with kindness & understanding alaina.

This is ridiculous. I'm in some crisis center. JUST SEND ME HOME AND LET ME DIE IF NO ONE CAN HELP ME. I honestly do not have the energy to try to convince one more person that I have a problem at this point.
