Good morning cor. cor version: today I am starting rehab.
background story:
over the past three months or so, i was doing an awesome job at work and school. monday-friday, i was the ace. and on the weekends, i was going out and partying. whether it was in shreveport or new orleans, i was always drinking from friday night thru sunday morning...sometimes to the point of not even sleeping - just continued drinking for over 24 hours.
i started to get blackouts. not passing out - where you go to bed because there's so much alcohol in your system...but blacking out completely where i would "fall asleep" and when i would "wake up" i would still be drunk, and i would still be awake doing things.
long story short, about two weeks ago, i was drinking with a buddy of mine on a tuesday night. i didin't have to go to work until 6pm on wednesday night; so thought i'd be able to toss back a few.
9 beers, 3 glasses of whiskey, and a half a bottle of blue curacao later, i ended up being detained by the cops.
after the AF was called and came and picked me up, it was suggested that i see a counselor on base...and it was her recommendation that i go through this 10 day rehab thing; followed up by some "after-care" counseling.
it was pretty evident that i was abusing alcohol; and if i kept on that path, i'd be starting to be dependent on it/borderline alcoholic.
so i'm off to rehab. but i'm going on my own accord (i could have said "no" and been stubborn and gotten in some trouble for it); but i'm going at this thing w/ a positive attitude. i don't want to end up down that same path again. granted, things could have been a LOT worse (i'm one lucky son of a bitch that nothing is going on my mil record)....but thru all things, i almost feel like God has come down and saved me. i've got a 2nd chance at life now. and i want to take full advantage of it.
leaving in about 10 minutes. i'm kinda nervous and scared, but i know that only good will come of this, i'll be a better person (i already feel better by taking my vacation up in chicago), and i'll be ready to move on with my life.
wish me luck, cor. :) |

Good luck man, wish you the best recovery. You'll meet people that you can gain a unique relationship with.
I lost a friend to alcoholism who was in his mid 20's this summer, still impacts me heavily to this day-so untimely it was.
the funny thing is I got detained all whacked up on a lot of shrooms in the same situation as you, and they took me to the hospital where i said someone had given me a special shake as a practical joke:stongue: .
Alcohol is a serious drug, I drink like a "" now, never more than 6 beers usually, and I drink ALOT less frequently. |

Joking aside, good luck. Give the credit to yourself, not to some intervening supernatural force. You're in control of your life and you're doing the right thing man. |
