August - I'm glad you're reaching out for more help. You know what you need. We are all with you & have been from the beginning. You're never alone. Life will be so much better and easier when you get free. We know you can do it.

This venture you are just embarking on is going to free you from this prison you have created for yourself. It's time to be true to August. If your ready to stop digging your own grave then you've got one of the hardest part conquered. Time to build your crack proof game plan. Use every person and resource at your disposal, that offers help.
Sometimes we need to be broken to become whole again. I'm glad to have " met" you. You've actually helped me more than you could know.

The rehab intake/insurance people may be able to sort all of that out for you. Get honest with couselor tomorrow and beg for their help and assistance in figuring out this process. I think if you can do some solid sober time you will start to see the light again.
August when I was drinking I was sooooooo deeply down low emotionally if I hadn't had kids I'd surly not be here. Quitting drinking took the desperation and despair away. It wasn't always easy and I hung on until my fingers were bleeding. But I'm so lucky that I've succeeded and I want you go know how that feels! To feel success and happiness and pride in who you are.
Sorry so long winded you got me going

Give yourself over to caring hands in treatment. It's called "surrender." You no longer need to prove to yourself that you can do this on your own.

AW I am in boston. I did my detox down in Falmouth at Gosnold, part of Falmouth hospital almost two years ago. I have been sober since. The facility is clean and the staff were excellent. Most are in recovery themselves. I hope they can help. Faulkner hospital and Mclean are also right here in town. I had trouble finding a bed, but fortunately found one at Gosnold.
My first detox was at arbor hospital... Avoid them if you can.
Boston medical center has a program as part of their er where a social worker will help place you in a detox if you want to try them as well.
