waiting for rehab
hi,
I've been sober since may 1st 2014. I went cold turkey on everything, my drugs of choice and prescribed benzos which I was abusing. I am a full fruitatarian, cut the caffeine out completely and have been practicing infrared yoga as much as two times a day to remain sober. my insurance company is funding me to attend a rehab facility, so in the meantime I decided to get sober on my own and I don't know how much longer I can do this. I'm in a constant state of fog, I am EXHAUSTED all day, my temples pound constantly, events from 19 days ago feel like yesterday but I can barely remember what actually happened yesterday, my anxiety is unmanageable and worsens drastically when I can't excersize. I can't handle public situations and I don't know how to converse with anybody anymore, my mood is getting consistently lower, I also battle anorexia and those thoughts are coming back full throttle, and I've had intense using dreams for the past 3 nights each resulting in waking up in full panic. I thought I could do this on my own but the sober life isn't looking any happier than when I was using, especially with my euphoric dreams. what do I do in the meantime? I don't think I can maintain my sobriety until I go to rehab but I'm terrified as to what will happen to me if I relapse. please somebody help me.

I don't know which facility I'm being placed in yet. my insurance company sent me to an addiction specialist under the advice from my psycologist, and the addiction specialist strongly recommended residential treatment. they called me last week to tell me they were officially funding the treatment but I should be getting a call this week with
more information from them

I have BCBS. My rehab called my insurance company. Weird. Anyway I would call my ins company, like now, and keep bugging them until they told me something concrete. That squeaky wheel thing is true......
