I saw on another thread what you wrote....can you make it 4 days, yes you can. You can call me if you need a kick in the a** or some words of love. I'll have my cell phone on at all times.
Did detox give you anything to help you? As much alcohol as you consumed, I'm worried about DT's. Are there drugs and booze in the house right now?
If no one's told you they love you today Jodi, consider yourself told.
You precious spirit, Jodi ~
This is not uncommon for insurance companies to do this - especially, if it's an HMO that you have. For some reason I think their mentally when it comes to the disease of addiction is just to "snap out of it!" ;)
I want you to know that I am here for you too and believe you have been given my email address. If not, let me know in this thread and I will give it to you. There is much of your story that I relate to and would adore the opportunity to talk with you. I will send you my phone number via email if you so desire.
"We" can get through this and in the interim, while waiting for a place in rehab, is there any reason why you cannot hit some meetings and gain the f2f support of others who have walked this path before you?
I'm so excited for you, Jodi. What a great gift you are giving yourself - the gift of freedom - the gift of life - the gift of recovery. Don't quit, baby, 5 minutes before the miracle happens!
Hugs and tons of encouragement to you ~
Sammy

Jodi...Sammy would be an excellent person for you to talk too...please email her and if you want her phone number, just ask, I know she'll give it to you. She's talked me through some touchy stuff in the past and I am so grateful that she was there.
Let us help you darlin. You don't have to be alone this weekend.

Oh, they gave me plenty while I was there.
But I got sent home with only a pat on the back and the advice to call my family doctor if I have any problems.
Any drugs and alcohol in my house? Now, c'mon....what a silly question.
Am I bitter? You betcha.
I'm tired of struggling.

I know...hopeful question more than anything. Can you go stay somewhere else? You gotta do whatever it takes to make it past the next few days. I also know how easy it's going to be to talk yourself out of going to rehab once they have a bed. You'll think, hell, I can do this on my own, I've made it this far! Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Don't get lulled into false security kiddo. You deseve this opportunity, you're going.
God damn it. I'm pissed.
I was hoping for 5...or maybe even 7 days in there.
I made the commitment, I feel like someone, somewhere just let me down...BIG TIME.
I'll be okay. I've gotta be.

They did let you down, but don't let yourself down by blowing it. Take what you got and make it work for now. It's only 3 or 4 days out of your life Jodi, you can do this until rehab opens up. Be pissed, use that anger to show everyone that can do this. Show yourself just how much you want this!
Ditto what Lisa said Jodi.
Get mad, get clean! That'll teach 'em!

Oh man Jodi. Please hang in there. I believe in you. You can make it through this temporary obstacle. Can you get to a meeting? If not, is there a 24 hour AA/NA hotline you can call? There are many who are here and rooting for you. Please write to me anytime. I will be more than happy to talk with you. Dawn

Thank you, all of you.
I'll be okay...for tonight anyways.
I'm going to bed. I seem to be doing alot of sleeping lately.
That's the safest place for me to be right now.

Nite, nite, honey. I'm just a phone call away if you need to talk.
By the way, it's really odd typing sober! :)
Get some sleep honey. Sleep is nature's way of healing us.
Jodi.....it is always darkest before the dawn....I have found that to be true.And also from the bible(Matthew, I believe) All you need is faith the size of a mustard seed. I believe you can do this. Get away from the abuser....I know it is easier said than done...but I see something in you. You are stronger than you think. Please know I am thinking of you. God loves you Jodi...and He wants you to have the health and happiness you DESERVE. It is your birthright, Don't you forget it. Lisa and Tim are exceptional people. You are lucky to know them. Love, Sharonn (I am praying for you Jodi)
Thank you, Sharonn.
I've never forgotten about you.
I hope you are doing well. Your words are gold to me.
