Bad place with alcoholism

I don’t want to lose my job because of the pay and I liked my coworkers but I also knew I couldn’t go on being drunk everyday.. and then sick and then my coworker constantly buying me medicine with no clue what was going on. I drank all day long every day. I knew I needed help and I put an end to it Monday and Tuesday. But I may have lost my job if my leave is not approved and I knew it was a great possibility. So I’m just scared. I had no choice. I went to my psych on Monday, was enrolled in an alcoholism program, and assigned a caseworker. She tried to find me a rehab facility. They were all full. So Tuesday I had to go to the ER to detox. I’m just so depressed. I’m on day 4 of no alcohol. I feel I’ve lost my job and no way to pay all these bills. I don’t know yet but I’m just not feeling good about it.

Getting sober is the best thing you can do for yourself… just take it one day at a time (sounds cliche, but it really works like that).

If you lost the job, you will get a new one… better to have to look for a new job than a new liver.

Your mind will get cleared the longer you go without the alcohol, you will become way more productive and present. Your mood will stabilize too… you’re going through a lot ATM. It will work out… you’re doing the right thing ♥
