I'm freaking out. Rehab tomorrow ****. |
Morning Raider, how are you? |
I won't back out. But I'm scared |
Why am I crying |
This is crazy |
Raider, It's natural and it's ok to feel scared. The people at rehab will look after you. You have a fantastic opportunity to get well and be free from this cycle you have been stuck in. Everyone here is wishing you well and supporting you. It will be ok. :hug: |
Ok |
It's pretty normal to freaked out by the prospect of rehab, but think of how badly you need it. Things have been rough for you I know; this is a positive step towards getting control of your life.:ring |
Raider you know your doing the right thing .hang in there |
You will be fine - just breathe... I would be excited at the prospect of getting well - hang in there! |
Thanks |
I'm reflecting on that dark time in my life 23 yrs. ago when family did an intervention on me because I needed help but didn't really know I did. I was hauled off to rehab, which today I see it as going to school. I needed to learn about my addiction to alcohol and how to live without it, or depend on it. 28days in rehab allowed me enough good quality time without the temptation of alcohol around me. It was good time to be fed valuable knowledge of what addiction does to my mind, body and soul. Then they gave me valuable tools to use each day and incorporate in my daily life. Today, some 23 yrs. sober of many one days at a time added together to get me where I am today, I look back on rehab as if it were yesterday. Having being taught about addiction has saved my azz a many times from picking up. Go to school, learn, absorb and then apply what uve been taught to stay sober each day to live a happier, healthier, honest life in recovery. |
There you go Raider! Listening to Sharon it's something to look forward too! I almost wish I was coming!! (Not making light of it - just trying to cheer you up :lmao ) |
Raider you are doing the right thing. You're scared cos it's such a big turning point in your life. They will look after you in rehab and we will all be here for you too Be brave :ring |
Don't be scared! I didn't do inpatient but I did outpatient rehab. I was scared at first, but honestly it was the most calming feeling I've had in a long time. It was so refreshing to know that I was finally confronting my problem and that I was finally getting on the right track. Also, it allows you to essentially push all of your other problems to the side and focus on the most important problem at hand - drinking. |
Raider , It will be fine , you'll be fine .. crying is healthy, being nervous is healthy as long as we don't let it keep us stuck . One foot infront of the other , be brave , Bestwishes, m |
FEAR future events appear real It is not a concentration camp from which you will never come back. It is a place that you'll come back from much better than you are. You did not get sick a day and you're not going to get better in one either. Recovery is a process not an event. You will be in a safe place surrounded by professionals and others that are in the recovery process as well. It is okay to be scared but this is the best possible thing that could be happening right now although it may not seem like it Try to think of the wonderful life that you will be leading once the monkey of alcohol is off your back |
I'm also awake. I haven't been posting lately, but I've been reading your posts, and I'd like to support you. I've often heard that the things most worth earning (like sobriety) are often the hardest to get, but it's always worth it in the end. Cry as much as you'd like, but please know that you're worth the effort. You have a ton of people rooting for you and your recovery! |
RAIDER! I am so proud of you for making this step! We are all here for you NOW and when you come home. Go kick addiction's but- you are far stronger than you know. Those tears? Think of them as the remnants of alcohol running away from you because they are scared! |
When do you leave Raider? I wish you a successful stay in rehab. Hopefully you have gotten a bit of sleep, or are on your way. |
Hey, Pam--it's very natural to be nervous. But it's wonderful you're going, and it's going to be a great tool for you to get over this huge hump of addiction in your life. Wishing you all the best, and keep in touch here, OK? XO |
Hi Pam, I had posted yesterday about my daughter's take on rehab. If there's one thing that she stresses after her now near 21 months of being clean it's this. The dreading was far worse than the doing. She said that once she got there she felt an immense sense of relief that all of this was finally going to be over. That she was going to get the help that she so desperately needed. A prior post here points to that very same feeling. You'll feel this too. It's just the unknown for you at this point. There is nothing but positives about this. You just need to get there to find that out. :hug: |
Thanks again. Going to the shower then to the airport. Thank you |
So good to hear. Many bright blessings to you Raider. I just gave your pic on the screen a big smile and wink. This is going to be amazing for you! |
Best wishes to you Pam. Take care. |
The emotions you are having are completely understandable. Once you get to rehab I think you will be pleasantly surprised, you will feel safe and supported. |
Airport now. I look like ****. |
So brave you are. So so brave. Xo |
