Going to Rehab

I know a few of you might have been worrying about me lately because i somewhat disappeared. A week ago i went on a binge and i was also taking Vicodin alot of it. I was actually on my way to rehab on the 29th when i told the driver i wasn't feeling good. So we went to the ER and it wound up being i was having an acetaminophen overdose......I know not very smart for someone that has Hep C. Anyway i went through 5 days of Hell taking the medication to save my life, They don't believe theres any further damage to my liver, but future tests will tell. Anyway I'm going away to rehab tomorrow and maybe a halfway house after that so i don't know when i'll be back on line. I don't know what time there coming for me yet but i'll check back in as long as I can. Wish me luck in my future endeavors. Thanks everybody for the support you have already given me in the past. If I don't get help now I'M GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!

Remembering the last line in your post WILL forever be your guide.
I am so proud of you for making and taking the first step.
Be easy on yourself, friend...you did good, you made a great choice.

4 1/2 years ago I got thru an awful time getting clean and sober, then having no where to live soberly.
It was an AWESOME experience that I treasure to this day.
You never have to drink or drug again.
I know this because I haven't and you can do it, too..=))

Eyore, I am So very, very, very proud of you.....

This brave step is Very doable. It's not hard, but it's not easy.
I know because I am living it...=)

Keep an eye out for the sunshine of the Spirit coming thru that cracked open door...:) cause it's comin real quick!

Sending tons of support your way,
