Thanks guys. Back from ER and they said I'm close to liver failure and it does not look good for someone 26 years old. Gave me medications until I can reach a facility hopefully tomorrow.

Good luck, you have to take care of yourself, the liver is another part of the human body that can rejuvenate itself if you quit poisoning it. Hope things go better for you.

I found treatment free of charge. 30 days at an amazing treatment center in Long Beach, Wa. Leaving tomorrow. This is a miracle.

Good luck! Rehab is a tremendous gift that not many people have to opportunity to have. It truly does save lives, mine included, if you are willing to be open-minded and put in the work.

When I arrive, I will start a journal thread of progress. This is so amazing. I even spoke with McKenzie Phillips! She is a supporter of the center.

That's amazing, it was meant to be! Call your EAP line, they can help get your STD and FMLA going ( provided you qualify). Good luck! Looking forward to the journal!

Best of luck Christy. Glad you are finally getting the help you need. I pray that you can learn a new way of life and use what you learn when you get done. Be well

Good luck! If you admit your problem and seek help then generally you will be able to return to your job. Do you have an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) at work? Talk to HR, they will steer you in the right direction.

I am in rehab right now and it is saving my life.
