Talk tell your story. Explain that you need to be here. Explain why. Tell them about your drinking habits. Tell them about what it's caused you. Just be honest...I don't see how they can't admit you just because there isn't any in your blood right now

Meg...hang in there! I hope something works out for you! I'm a week back home from rehab & it was the best thing I ever did. my first week in rehab I was extremely upset with myself that I hadn't made more of a "fuss" I think is how you called it, by not drinking even more than I had the day I checked into impatient. I was drunk but was wishing I had drank more.....the good thing that came of that is that I got to go straight to impatient and skip detox at a hospital. I was grateful for that.
if you are having serious withdrawals, safe bet is getting checked out & begging them to put you into detox....the withdrawals can be life threatening even days after the last drink.
I wish you all the best Meg. praying for you!

My last detox, I made a fuss in triage. I didn't really need to though, it was pretty obvious that I was in dire shape. They labeled me as urgent and I was moved back to the ER quickly. Don't hold anything back.

That's NOT true! Tell them you want to go to a different hospital. My last detox, my BAC was zero. That really has nothing to do with needing medical detox.

Oh Meg, my heart goes out to you. Big hugs from me.

Things happen for a reason and now you need to take all the help offered to you. Inpatient detox can only be beneficial for you, do it. You'll get good care, rest, treatment, councelling, the lot. This could be the turning point for you, the chance to start again.

I don't know how things work with jobs where you are, but hopefully seeing as it is a medical condition, they may be able to to offer some kind of support plan, I know they do here, fingers crossed,

I know your dad will be upset, he's bound to be, but honestly a parents love is unconditional and once he gets his head round it, he will be there for you. All this will have been a shock to him, give him time and show him that you can and will beat this.

We are all here for you, our SR family, keep posting, be brave and let us know how it's going.

All my love

When I got into rehab I had to detox for 5 days....I wasn't able to make any outside contact....I imagine that's what's going on...Sending you prayers Meg...And look forward to hearing from you!!

Hi Meg. I really hope you get the help you need. Your experience and what you are going through are a remínder to newbies like myself not to ever drink again cos it just gets worse and worse.
