Finally saw a doctor....questions
Well I took myself down to the local ER this morning and laid it all out...amounts, times, symptoms....everything. Lo and behind I'm not too physically devstated yet...but I did spend a lot of time talking to the psychiatric social worker..................ultimately I'm to be de-toxed out patient with classes and urine accountability...plus a rather lenghty run on decreasing doses of Ativan...as my symptoms seemed to alarm them somewhat...ain't withdrawal grand...anyway...I 'm at home ....took some time off work and sitting...shivering/sweating.....hurting....hoping this is the last time I ever choose to do this agauin...please support me...this is the only place I relly am honest
let it grow!

it sounds like you have made some real good choices by reaching out for medical help and taking some time off to make recovery your priority.
keep doing the next right thing. be safe and stay sober.

I am so happy you went to see a doc and are accepting help to detox. It is the biggest first step on to Sobriety. When I asked for help and got detoxed in the hospital...I was laying in the bed thinking about all of the people that had helped me in two days and it already added up to 15 people mostly workers in the hospital...so lucky I felt...and then I thought...boy I do have to quit drinking this time...look at all the people that are here to support me already.
Good Luck...will be sending thoughts your way.

You never have to go through this again.
You never have to pick up again.
All the lying, all the sneaking, all the nightmare .... can finally end.
Merry Christmas... in the biggest way.
