Hey Loosid fam! Hope everyone is well. I checked into rehab down in Florida yesterday and so far so good besides not getting much sleep. It’s been jam packed with intake stuff & meeting with docs, nurses, therapist but I’m really pleased how thorough the are so far and I’m feeling really hopeful! 
I have to be in the detox house for the first couple days which is a bit of torture bc they wake me up ever 2hrs to check my vitals in the other room 
so I basically am on like 2-3hrs of broken sleep.. Doc said today I should be off by tomorrow..it’s just standard protocol even though I came in clean and sober and all my vitals have been fine.. I’m okay with it more or less though- I’m much happier to be at a place that takes the care of patients very seriously! We have groups and appts from 830-12 then lunch 12-1 then groups 1-3 and then free time after until dinner at 5 and optional AA/NA meetings daily at 7pm. I went to the meeting lastnight and I couldn’t believe only a few people attended.. I will absolutely be attending all groups and night meetings. I am making the best of this and am fully committed to getting the best out of my time here! They also keep trying to offer me detox meds saying it’s part of the protocol but I have not been taking them bc I have not drank in a week and don’t feel any withdrawal/cravings. The few groups, doc appointments, and ppl I’ve met so far are all great. I’m feeling soooo grateful and hopeful! Thank you all again for all of your love and support over the last couple months.. Although I already decided to go to treatment before joining Loosid, It’s because of you guys I started to gain a better understanding of my mental health/addiction and become more open minded!! I truly believe it helped set me up for success much more than I was before. Happy weekend all!! Prayers for a healthy and happy weekend! For anyone feeling down right now- YOU CAN DO IT!!! 2 months ago I was at the lowest point in my life and I started losing hope that I wasn’t going to be able to make it out of that dark place.. I now pray to never be there again and am working on doing anything I can to not be there. You can always reach out to me but I currently have limited phone time. Just make sure to reach out to someone that is supportive when you need an ear!
There is not suppose to be sleeping in rehab. Lol. Keep positive. You got this. And they let you have a phone? Hmmm.
1hr a day first 5 days and 315-1030 after as long as you go to groups and don’t abuse the privilege.
Wow, new world. Any rehab I ever was in banned phones. Do they give massages also? Lol
This is awesome, glad you finally made it down here lol. Where'd you end up going? So proud of you. I was also very surprised at how few went to the optional meetings. I went everyone as well. I fully committed to 90 in 90 but did even more. Some don't see the need and don't realize they can here one solid thing in every meeting if they'd just listen with an open mind. 
Glad you’re attending meetings and making the most of your stay. Great attitude!!
They do actually 
. I chose a place that treats the “whole person” bc I find that to be very important. Mind, body, soul! Groups& individual therapy, 12 steps, physician, psych, nursing, healthy meals, Chiropractor & massage, yoga & meditation, gym, pool.. And enough free time to not be wasting time but to be able to rest/socialize/work/study.. I feel very blessed to be at a place like this and beyond grateful bc I know now everyone CAN even go anymore, let alone a place like this. I did a lot of research and took time to be fully ready both personally and financially. I made sacrifices to go to a place like this bc I CAN (thanks to God). I know anything can work but this is what felt best for me. I’m doing all the right things here as much as I know how to and taking all suggestions so I pray that it will be one and done for me . I pray for everyone that they find their way as well
Thank you a million!! I’m at White Sands in Fort Myers. Very similar program to Futures.. I decided to go here bc it’s closer to my family in Cape Coral&Naples so they can visit and bring Benji to visit! And if I stay down here for a while or forever I’ll be able to build a stronger network .
Well, that sounds cool as all get out. Good for you. Just more blessings being sent your way by the looks of it. Enjoy this “you” time and keep growing. You’ve earned this new you. However we get sober doesn’t matter. Just that we do.
