After years of attempting to get sober by going to AA, working the steps , going to therapy , I’ve decided that i Can no longer live my life as a raging alcoholic, i thought i was willing to go to any lengths to get sober but i always rejected the idea of inpatient rehab because of being away from home and the fear of loosing my job. But in reality i just wasn’t fully surrendering. But i can’t live like this anymore . I’m so incredibly nervous and scared for rehab . I don’t know what to expect . I’m so sad to be away from home but i know i will end up in jail or dead if i keep going like this .

First, you could probably take FMLA at work, they legally can’t deny it unless you work under 52 days a year or if it’s a smaller company of I think 50 people? Secondly, don’t be scared. You’re taking a very proud step of saving your life. You got this!
Rehab was the best choice i ever made. Of course i looked down on it all those years i drank. Then i drank myself into organ failure and wished i wasn’t so ignorant. They told me they didn’t have room for me but i refused to leave until there was space. Finally got myself into the place i needed and wanted to be mentally to do something about my situation. Very happy i did or else i wouldn’t be here today. There’s absolutely nothing to fear. Stay focused on bettering yourself.

you got this Jess
I went to detox for 9 days. Took off the time from work ( small company). It was worth every day. Wish I stayed longer- you will be glad you did this
Great comments. You will be not just OK but likely a completely changed person. Stay positive. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. Don't feel discouraged.
