It's officially happening
 
Tonight is my last night before rehab. Not sure I'll be logged into the site tomorrow, but please feel free to offer prayers and support. Enjoying the last few hours cuddled in bed with my son. Packed and ready.

Met with an attorney earlier today. I signed the contract and gave it to my parents for safe keeping in case I need to respond to being served. I feel comfortable with my attorney and think I'll be represented fairly. She was straightforward and gave me hope simultaneously. If it comes to that, I'm ready. I'm here to get my life back, for my son and myself.

Hello,
I will say a prayer for you as well. Enjoy this time in a safe, educating and self nuturing enviornment. Please concentrate on yourself. When you reflect on your stay the time will impressionable and fleeting. Although it may not feel like it while experiencing it. You will no doubt bond with a few of the people and learn about yourself.
take care . You are worth it.

Just put my son to bed for the last time before rehab and potentially for the last time in what has been his normalcy for 7 years. With a potential divorce on the horizon, etc., this is really hard. I'm bawling my eyes out. It's literally breaking my heart.

Maudcat 01-04-2018 07:25 PM

Good luck, Babescake!
First thing is to get sober.
Drinking just makes things worse.

Sending my good wishes your way! You got this!

Babescake 01-04-2018 09:28 PM

I think I'm in internet/tech withdrawal presently. Time to go to bed (though I know I won't sleep), but being without gadgets for a month or more sucks. Hope did I survive childhood? Amazing how perceptions change with time and technology.

JJanew2017 01-04-2018 09:38 PM

Keep focused and keep positive! You will do great!

*How instead of hope.

Good luck. I hope the rehab helps to cement your recovery. Wishing you all the best.

Not sure if you will see this today. It just wanted to send you lots of love and prayers. Go in with an accepting mind, and get sober for you, the rest will start to fall into place. Looking forward to hearing g about your journey next month!

I'm very proud of you for making this decision, getting help is one of the bravest things you can do.

❤️Delilah

It's good to take a break from all the gadgets every now and then. A lot of the stress in people's lives are due to being constantly connected every minute of every day. It's nice to get away from it all and start to notice and appreciate the world around you.

Babescake 01-05-2018 06:21 AM

Final post. Logging out and turning off the cell phone as I depart. Said bye to my little boy. Thank you everyone for the positive vibes. See you on the flip side.

LateBloominCait 01-05-2018 06:53 AM

Best of luck! You are giving your son the amazing gift of a sober parent and that is a beautiful thing!

Verdantia 01-06-2018 03:58 AM

Sending prayers and best wishes--rehab was an important piece of my recovery and I learned a lot, especially from my fellows. Keep an open mind and participate fully and you'll do great, babescake.

ChloeRose63 01-06-2018 04:17 AM

Thinking of you, Babescake!
We all are wishing you the best! Today is the first day of the rest of your life! Make it a great day!:)
