HELP!

I've been on the waiting list for inpatient rehab for months now. They called today and said to be there on Monday. Should I go?

I am freaking out. So much stuff is going through my mind. I have so much stuff here to take care of. I don't know what to do???

I've been sober but I'm doing this so I can go back to school and I want to give myself the best chance.

I'm freaking out.

Should I go for this or not?

I think you can't afford NOT to go - you've been on the waiting list for months - I say get the most important stuff done and go for it!

I remember clearly your pain because of leaving school....i am using all my strength to stay in school...i can't tell you what to do, but if going back to school is your priority after being sober, then please do what you need to so you won't regret not taking the necessary steps..I am not an alkie, but i can tell you i wish i could get myself completely together before the end of the semester, if you can, then know you have an awesome chance...you have the chance to go back in a good shape, and that is an awesome reason to go!but more than that, rehab can actually make a change in your whole life....

take care!

This is what you have been waiting for. DO NOT MISS THIS CHANCE.

You know I say this out of love. You NEED this.

Go!!!!!!

Call me if you need to talk more about this.

Love and lots and lots of hugs,

Lots of good advice here Cheryl and I hope you go for the rehab offer too. It sounds like a really good opportunity.

Let us know what you decide.

Yes.

It will all sort itself out. Go and take care of YOURSELF. Trust me, it will all work out fine if you put yourself first.

I'm so scared you guys.

I decided......

that I'm going.

But I need lots of support and encouragement until Monday morning. I have to keep myself focused on this because
I'm sure my head will try to talk me out of it.

I keep doing the "what ifs".

My grandma said that she'd screen people that called about my apartment that I needed a roommate for in August.
So I guess she'll take care of that while I'm gone.

Also, I needed to appeal my financial aid termination for school. I can fill out the form and give it to her to take down there.
She also said that she would talk to the lady at the office about writing a medical statement for me.

I have a list of things that I need to get in order before I go Monday.

I will just do what I can and the rest I have to let go and hope for the best.

If I don't take this opportunity, I have a feeling that I'll end up regreting it.

Alive

thanks for doing that...

Hope

Does anyone have a list of things I can and cannot bring?

I need a general list to have a guide as to what to bring with me.

Call and ask them...then you will know.
Good for you!

Call the admission desk at the clinic for more info. Most inpatient care facilities do not allow personal electronics, radios, ipods, etc.

Good Onya Cheryl. Don't forget your doing this for you. Make a list of questions before you call the rehab.

Thinking of you.

Put one foot in front of the other and GO. Don't let your addicted mind tell you other wise. Get it together this weekend and be there MON

you have made a very wise decision. proud of you, k

dixied

you have made the first big step...... beginning to.love yourself . That is evident by accepting treatment. Life is unfolding as it should and the opportunity of treatment is there for you for a reason. School is definitely important but if you are impaired you can't take full advantage of your education. Get yourself grounded first with your treatment. School doesn't have to be first and foremost. Your mental and physical health should be first. A young man I met recently told the judge (he was there for a court proceeding) that his education was 13 years in the school of "hard knocks". It was sad but true. I am going to pray for you because you are truly a child of God and you can turn events around. I will pray for you daily because you have been given this special opportunity. Stand strong. God keep you in his care. Dixie

I'm home from rehab.

It was a great experience.
I'm glad that I went.

Welcome back!!!
