So back today one, and I had a very productive day. And surprisingly I actually enjoyed myself. Cleaned the house, did laundry, went to the grocery store, took the kids to Rita's. I almost sound like I have my crap together! Feels good. However, I know that I can't fall into feeling like everything is okay. I'm a very sick person, and I need to remember that. In the past, I have put on this façade of neatness while I fall to pecies inside. How my going to stay sober? I really don't know. But I do know who can help me, and I'm feeling ready to take suggestions.

Glad you had a good day! When do you start the outpatient program you mentioned earlier?

Good... You will learn ae good techniques in IOP, but it is self directed after the group ends for the night... That said... I was unwilling to do inpatient and they said as long as I can manage the physical withdrawal (which for me most consisted of shakes when alcohol was involved. they gave me meds to manage my withdrawal symptoms for home too) then IOP was a fine place to start unless I couldnt manage to stay sober in the group when they tested. How many hours do you go? Mine was 3 hrs after work 5 days per week
