Anxious about rehab :/
So I have to wait for a few places to call me back to see if there are any beds available for detox today. I barely slept last night because of withdrawal symptoms. Had to tell my boss why I would be out all week and some of my friends. This is really happening and it's so scary. There's no turning back now though and that is a good feeling. If I can't get in anywhere today my plan is to see my general dr to help me. Thanks for listening, this is all very overwhelming.
Quit... I understand. I remember telling my boss I would be out a whole month so I could "go away" for a while. I did not have to tell him why by law but I did. And I was scared to death of the judgement... Of if I could do it... If they were going to understand me once I got there....if...if...if...
And you know what?
My boss respected me and was behind me. Wow.
The people at rehab really understand me... More than me.
My friends... Mixed bag... Some lost some stronger. All still what I needed.
You could not be doing any more to help yourself....
Now let other help you as well.
Rehab is not scary when you are there. Its a safe place to be and you will hopefully feel comfort.
You can do it!!
My best to you!

Thanks so much guys. I am sure I will meet some great people. And you're right weasel, I know my boss is supportive but I don't want to be looked at like a ticking time bomb. All of these negative thoughts are better than continuing to kill myself though....I just want to get there so I can start to feel better and get the help I need. I think the anticipation is the worst of all.
