I am also a business professional. However, I was binge drinking 3 to 4 days a week and blacking out. Call a Dr regarding detox BC it can be deadly. I went straight to AA, got a sponsor, worked the steps, and did nt drink no matter what. My sobriety date is 4-15-18. You can do it!

Rehab was amazing!! I learned a lot! I had two little boys and a decent job at the time.. it was scary going in but my employer was so supportive!! I went twice...but I still wasn't done! I had to go out there and make a few more messes and literally had to lose EVERYTHING that I ever cared about! I ended up walking into a little meeting on Skid row in downtown Sacramento and that is when I finally decided to stay...I hope you don't have to go down that far my friend, but everyone's bottom is a different place. I'm glad you're feeling better and I hope you find something that works for you my friend!

There are recovery coaches out there. It's a relatively new field so I'm still looking for one.

I felt the same. Rehab would have destroyed everything I had ever worked for. But it also would have been far easier. Thankfully I hid at a siblings house for a few weeks and white knuckled it, but I wouldn’t recommend that to everyone. Good luck.
