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.

I've been where you are. I very nearly missed my opportunity. Never give up on giving up.

Just don't drink today. That's the only thing that matters.

If the jobs gone then it's gone drinking won't change that but not drinking might change your future.

Hang in there. Getting sober is by far the best thing I ever did for myself and those around me.
