Welcome and congrats on the 5! That is amazing! Keep reaching out. We know what you are going through and are here to help on any way we can.

At one point, I had 5 days too. Now I have nearly 14 years. You can do this.

Scared and nervous

I get that. And it is ok to feel that way, but don’t let it control your actions. Face the fear and you will look back to see it was all worth it.

Did u go to rehab

I’m at 5 days too and struggling

What made u stop

I ended up in the ER last Thursday with alcohol poisoning still unsure I’m gonna remain stopped. I know I better or I’m not gonna make it out one of these times

No. I went to AA. Did 90 in 90 and got a sponsor the first week. Did the steps and it worked for me.

Praying for you Sarah…. And don’t be scared. You got this

Welcome :pray: Sarah!
I’m glad you’re here. Sounds like you are ready to take certain steps. I was 47 days sober when I went to inpatient treatment after doing outpatient treatment. I was so angry with the world. I was introduced to AA in treatment and now I’m 3 years sober working the program to the fullest. It’s changed my life. I’ll pray for you to find a program that works for you. One day at a time. Let us know how your treatment goes. It’s nice to hear from others what they’ve experienced.

Welcome!! I did detox and rehab. Highly recommended!

5 days is awesome! Let us know how we can help.

You can do this and you are worth it, Sarah.

I did detox and rehab then followed the advice and went to meetings and still do.

Welcome!

Welcome! IOP works! Definitely will help in early stage of recovery!

Filled out the paperwork n now have the intake next week n my aniexty n nerves r shaking

If you know you have a problem and want a much better life, you'll feel relief as soon as you get in the door...I know cause I wanted help the 5 times I went in over a 42 yr period. The part they teach us about keep going to meetings didn't stick til this time around. 21 months straight now, but never went longer than a month before. This program really does work if we do the simple things they tell us to do...Wish I hadn't been such a slow learner, but I'm very grateful I stuck it out this time. You to can do this

The rehab program will open your mind to a lot. Great huge step. Big pt on the back for that. You are going in the RIGHT direction!!! You deserve to be happy. It will get better!:blush:

If you can't find one maybe consider a sober living home that has a strong AA program.
