Yknow it takes a lot of courage to admit you need help.. I admire that.

Go for it, AW.

It's been a real privilege sharing your struggles with you. Your posts speak volumes to me about how capable and determined you are and how much you really want this.

Time to take it to the next level?

We're all with you, pal

Have you tried outpatient treatment? What makes you drink? Is it the withdrawl symptoms?

I'm with you whatever you decide but you seem uncertain. I guess what I'm wondering is it because your scared or because its not what you want. Only you know how you feel - only you know what you need - we will only ever know what you tell us and even then it's only our perceptions - you have to do what's right for you.

Just go for it! You don't know if it's the way until you do it. It might be perfect for you.

What's your insurance situation? I want to help you with this. Can MIL use any of her resources to get this done today?

The ball is in your court AW. You have people here that are willing to help, and there is a wealth of local help just a phone call away. Today could be a momentous day in moving your life forward in a positive direction, or it can be just another day on the rollercoaster of excuses and drinking. Which one do you choose?

Hi AW,
I can identify with your struggles. Just moved to Boston and I've been back at the bottle. My last drink ever was last night at around 8 pm. The health insurance at the position that brought me to Boston hasn't kicked in so I'm just gritting through the detox, which so far is pretty horrible.

I'd be in a detox center now if there were beds open. Feels like the worst of it may be over, or at least I hope. Hang in there!

Good for you AW!

Detox is what I did. It wasn't one of the best times of my life, but it brought me to a much better space.
