so tired of it, im checking in to treatment

Hi everyone, you all know me, probably from the Brother Frankie dispute, but, i have decided tonite, i can not quit on my own, i have tried and tried, to no avail.  There is a treatment center that want to get me in, have you guys heard of it, its called The Treatment Center, they are in Florida, i have already talked to counselors, they will not let me suffer, they will help me through this, and if one thing, i have put up with my husbands abuse enough, and have tried and tried again to quit taking pills, this is the only way out, i HAVE to get away and get clean, away from all these surroundings. I know i t will be hard coming back, but i just want to be able to get clean, i \CANT do it on my own, i have insurance, so im going, please post and let me know this is the right thing to do.....im soooooo scared, but ready,  thanks.

I'm excited 4 U!! I have learned this week that you have got to put everything and everyone else aside for a moment and be selfish for a change. It's probably been way to long since you have put yourself first and it's long over due. You and your family will benefit from it in the long run. Won't it be nice to actually be "you" again? Take the time, take the help, this does not make you weak in any way. It makes you brave and ready for a bright new future with a clear mind. I for one and very proud of your decision and don't let anyone deter you from your goal. Good luck and you can message me anytime if you just need to vent. Sincerely, Lew

Just wanted to encourage you. I think is is a wonderful idea, especially if you have the resources to go. Like many that posted before me, take advantage of everything there and stay the full term to reprogram your brain and behaviors. God Bless

You are now where I was last week. By speaking with the idiots on the phones at some of these places they told me over and over that there wasn't a bed for me and call back. This went on for a week until I ran completely out of any meds and went into seizures and was taken to the er. Blood pressure was a big factor for me. What they didn't tell me until it was to late was that if I had just gone to the facility they would have taken me. Ask this question when you are calling. Never once did they offer this info to me, the nurse I had helping or my insurance company that had to override many things to allow me to go. It's of little solace to hear that everything happens for a reason at this point of suffering physically and emotionally, however I'm home on day 6 now getting through it with the help of a new doctor that I got through the ER, a new attitude, a husband that now understands and all of the people on this forum that helped me survive (literally). It's not going to be easy whichever road you go on but like me it sounds like your mind is made up so don't be denied! Like anywhere, there are "know it alls" that answer the phones in admissions at these places that don't have a damn clue! Good luck and I, along with many others are with you in your struggle and will be here for you. If you need to talk, message me.   Sincerely, Lewney2n (Renee')
