It hasn't been the end of the world. I have hope. But jeez exhausting

I’ve actually been in a similar situation and in my case they didn’t do much. Detox and hospitals in general are for crisis, outpatient is usually where that middle ground lives. Sponsors and community. Find yourself an in person meeting and go early and stay late as they say. I’ll probably do the same over the next few days, I’m struggling but it doesn’t have anything to do with recovery so, anyways good luck.

I think I'm through the hard part :slight_smile: I'm going 5o let a good person in my life drag me to AA and church but I also have some high level religious trauma. Maybe the next post will be godly loll

I said that as in , I was going to get checked out , I didn't actually think they were going to keep me , but then they did. It was only on observations /a voluntary basis, and I actually freaked out and left the next day.But you know , i'm still sober , so here we are

Elizabeth, in the darkest days I didn’t have any insurance or money in my early sobriety, so I went to 3 in person AA/NA meetings daily. Morning, afternoon and evenings. Showed up early to help out and stayed a bit after to help out. I made some really great friends in recovery and realized the importance of being in the midst of recovery with folks in recovery. It’s my medicine. For me, much better than any medical facility or medical providers! They just wanted to put me on pills or my money which I had none😅
I’ll be praying for you :pray:

7 days :slight_smile:

I almost hit a meeting yesterday.But the thing is , I used to have to go as a staff member supporting clients , so I can't go to the one that's closest to me as it's right next door to my old workplace and I don't want to run into any of my old coworkers. So , it will be a bit of an effort , but I think it's worth it. I do have two close friends who are in the program and check in with me all the time

Elizabeth I was worried about my anonymity and running into people that I knew or how my exposure would affect my reputation etc., but I learned that my fear was false! My transparency and integrity are directly related to my emotional sobriety. This resulted in my peace of mind and made me exponentially stronger and happier.
Fear comes from my ego. My ego is not my amigo. Strength, peace and love comes from heart.
I don’t let my fear ever stand in the way of my sobriety.
