I showed up for an 8:30 therapy meeting, already having drank but not impaired. (I didn't drive.) The therapist cut the meeting short and announced that it
is time for me to go to IOP again. (Intensive Outpatient therapy).
I called the number that she gave me for a women's only program that is grant based so it can take people with no insurance. I'm waiting for a call back so I can schedule an intake. I don't know if there's a waiting list or not, but I'm quitting today instead of doing the "Last Dance With Mary Jane."
I really wanna live. Often alcohol and suicidal thoughts go hand-in-hand/ cause and effect for me. Plus, it's extra dangerous for me to drink when I'm on p-meds.
I asked her if she's saying that I have an alcohol problem. I stuttered trying to get the word alcoholic out. My therapist just said that with my history of substance abuse and the fact that I've been drinking and smoking pot off and on for a long while now that it's time for me to get more intensive help.
I've drank my last beer, smoked my last joint, and I'm also cutting out the caffiene cold turkey. I won't go through DT's for the alcohol, but I'll have some massive caffiene withdrawal headaches.
Wish me luck.
Humble and Scared,
