Going to do an inpatient detox

The main reason I’ve been resistant to the idea of doing inpatient is because they take your phone, but I talked with the main guy at this place up north and he said he’d be willing to make an exception for me and let me have my phone. He understands how distressing it would be for me not to have it given my autism. I have to wait till Monday to go in even though I stopped taking the stuff three days ago, my boss said I can’t get off work Saturday and Sunday. Withdrawals are coming on slowly so hopefully I’ll be able to make it till then without being completely miserable. Will have to get a doctor’s note and take the whole following week off work. I’m still nervous as hell, especially cause he mentioned when you get their you have to endure a body search which I’m not looking forward to at all, but hopefully it won’t be too invasive. Also he said nicotine use is allowed, thank god. Won’t be able to have my poppers but I can deal with that.

Good luck.

I remember that decision and those days worrying before going in. But now I look back on it as best decision I ever made.
