Checking in

Ok guys. I have had it. I have gotten in way over my head and it needs to stop immediately.
I am checking myself in next week after court to a mental health facility.
My Dr thinks I should address my anger and all that menatal and emotional stuff before anything.Because that is the core of my drug use.
So I will be in the crazy house for a week or so starting next week. I need some kind of help.
I jyst got off the phone with them and they are ready for me when i get court done.

Chi,

I agree SO much!

Your drug use, like my alcohol use, is but a symptom of your problems. And, your problem is anger and uncontrolled emotions. You need to deal with all this stuff with a counsellor and a mental health facility is a great place for you to start.

I am really glad you're doing this.

Chiynita-
It takes courage to show up and accept help. You have been so welcoming to me which has been really helpful. From the little I've read from you I think you have a lot of courage.

Get to some meetings in the meantime, Trish. (said with love!)

I'm spent some time on the inside too - and found it helpful.

Thanks for checking in

Chi,

Same here. I think you have a terrific spirit and tons of courage. You seem to really want to beat this! I will be thinking about you. Keep posting, & keep your head up!

I agree with Rowan. Go to some meetings AA or NA. It doesn't matter. There all good and I think you'll like them.

Take care, Barb

I have a sudden sense of relief. My Dr isnt too happy with me. He said I need to start helping myself in order for him to keep helping me. And he is right.
I am looking forward to getting help. Then I am sure they will make me follow up with some type of OP program when I get out. That new job I know I probably wont get. Can just wait for now.
Seeing my grams face lately is my priority one over any and everything right now.
I need to address me first before anything so I can be the best me I can be for not only her but me as well.

And Glass..I love your starit to the point honesty.
You made me really think when you said I was heading for a cliff. You are exactly right. Thank you all of you for waking my dumb ass up and seeing what is really inportant.
