Hi everyone,
I haven't been around in awhile, I decided to do 28 days inpatient at a treatment facility. And I graduated today! What a rollercoaster experience, but the best decision I ever made. I am reading posts and catching up and I just wanted to say hi and hang in there. Hope everyone has as serene a night as can be.

Boo- I'm doing the best I can. I did the rehab thing too (for Xanax). Hard, wasn't it? Lot's of people think it's like some country club. It's more like Boot Camp..I bet they beat you pretty hard..hopefully..hehe..I know where I was at they did...and ya, I agree with the scary part..better scared than sorry..
Welcome Back Boo,
I am so happy for you. I wish you the very best. It sounds like you have a good firm ground to start on. I would imagine your set up with outpatient programs, or meetings. I hope you get alot of support here, and from home. You have made a "huge step", keep it going ;o). Take care, Best Wishes
Danny,
Oh your no fun, I always thought Rehab was a "vacation". Especially, after having w/d's at home twice. I really need a "vacation" lololol. Alright, so now I know it's bootcamp, not vacation ;o). I am so happy for you too!!!! It's such a good way to get better control of this disease. Take care, Best Wishes

Best- At least the place I was at- it was ROLL CALL at 6:30am (after basically no sleep) and LIGHTS OUT at 10:00pm..with constant activity through the day..it was rough..people DO think it's a walk in the park..it's friggin rough..
Hi Boo! I hope you had a nice stay at the "spa".......
How are you feeling? Are you nervous? I was scared s***less..
One of the things that I learned in all of this is that if you go back, you will quickly end up right back at the lowest point...
Peace and love to you...you did one of the hardest things ever...
Just be honest with yourself, and very very proud..

Boo,
I am very very proud of you .... and you should be of your self... I cant tell you the great amount of courage it takes to do what you have done.... I remember my rehab experience like it was yesterday and I dont regret a minute of it...
My advise to you is stay focused on the important stuff .. your recovery first... and dont get overwhelmed with other stuff... listen to your counselors.. do what they tell you... get plenty of rest.... stay honest about what you are feeling .... and most importantly ... dont use no matter what..
Again was so pleased to hear from you... I wish you lots of joy and peace. God Bless you and your family...

play nice boys
Boo....We started detoxing around the same time. I have been thinking about you and wondering what happened to you. You must let me know how the in-patient thing was. I have been clean for a month now and have a question. How do you feel? I have no motivation to do the things I used to. I know I am depressed - - have been on Lexapro for about 6 months. Don't feel any different. Of course, I miss my pills. I don't feel bad, I just don't have any motivation. My house is a wreck....and my work is suffereing. No interest in my children either. I am just doing the essentials to get by. I probably should have gone to in-patient to concentrate on just myself. Please let me know.
Proud of you! KAT
Proud of you! KAT
Boo - that is great news!!! You must feel so proud! Jim
Kat- If after a month, if it's not working, you should switch to another. Anti-depressants are weird that way. Some work on SOME people and others don't. I suggest talking to the Doc and switching, maybe to Zoloft or something.
I just want to go off the antidepressants all together. I have tried so many of them and never got that "great feeling"....BUT, I don't want the withdrawal effects of going off of Lexapro. I forgot to take them for two days once and OH GOD....the weird feelings, headaches, etc. Just going through wd's from the pills was horrible. I can't bear doing it again. I will stay on the Lexapro until I feel strong enough to go off. I also think it has made me gain weight. I have gained about 20 lbs. and that is making me depressed too. I'm not used to being fat.
