Here is a continuation to my story 10 Years Ago Part l -&- Part ll !?! To read the earlier parts of the story please click on highlight sections above!?!
So, by now I had been in rehab 11 days...let me tell you what the first few day were like...
The rehab the my employer sent me to was more of a country club than a rehab - we we set up in apartments with a roommate!?!
We had all our meals prepared for us or we were taken out to eat - we had maid service to clean up after us -&- we were basically treated like royalty!?!
For the first few days after you arrive you are put in isolation -&- for the initial few days you are not allowed to interact with the fellow guest...so you are placed in a moderately sized room - with all the necessary furnishings - brought 3 meals a day -&- checked upon randomly by the staff!?!
The worst part of the first few days was detox!?!
Detox: is where you you basically give up everything you have been taking - cold turkey -&- your body revolts against you!?!
It is a hard as you've seen it in the movies...it takes everything you have to not just
give up -&- die!?!
Your body fights you every step of the way -&- even though they give you something to help ease the pain - nothing even begins to touch the raw emotional pain that placed you in the situation to begin with!?!
The pain that you were trying to cover up with the drugs -&- alcohol in the first place - that pain becomes more real by the minute!?!
This is where it gets REAL - it is either do or die!?!
...check back later -&- I will get more in depth into my 28 day stay!?!
Today I am thankful for Prayer - because with it you can move mountains!?!
