Need a little help

[fanofthedog]

Hi everyone. I have been out of the rooms a long time. I had 8 yrs and then have been out 10. This sounds stupid BUT- we didnt have the web back in the day. I am trying to find a detox center to go to in the Los Angeles area. (back in the 90's we just went to the hospital and they detoxed you there for a few days) A full rehab isnt an option for me- I just need to get the crap out of my body and I feel safer in a hospital. Anyone have any idea HOW to untangle the thousands of rehabs that come up when I try to look up online? Can I just call my local hospital or go to the ER for a few days? It seems so overwhleming.

Any tips would be appreciated. Honestly- I need help getting into the detox right now. It would be super awesome if someone could help me do that. I have BC/BS Federal insurance. Best kind, thankfully. Thanks.

Your local hospital might be able to guide you to a good one. Give them a call.

Here is a link to one detox center that might be useful. You could call them.

Hi and welcome! I also had trouble relapsing, but now I have finally surrendered to God and I now have seven weeks! You can do it again, too!

If you still need help getting to rehab after trying the above suggestions, look up AA Central Office in your phone book and give them a call. They should be able to find someone to help get you to rehab.

Please get there soon! Come back and tell us how you are doing! We care and are her for your support! Living without alcohol is happy, joyous and free!

Praying for you today!

Thanks for your help guys. I am going to call around today. If I can get a sitter - I will try to ask for help at the noon meeting. Hopefully someone can help me with the logistics of getting into a detox. My "habit" isnt that big- but Im a wuss and I cant kick while I have a toddler to look after. So- I need to find childcare for the 4 days Im away. Ive been trying to wheel and deal.. trying to find a big juicy story to tell those around me so that I can go away for a few days alone. I thought up all sorts of crap last night and the realized that as much as it sucks- Im not going to DIE if I have to tell my partner and my friends whats happening. They will all keep my baby safe for a few days. Its my enormous EGO that wants to tell them all some lame story so they wont know whats happened. Everytime I make a good get-clean plan..piles of drugs show up at my house (online pharmacies). So- I may have to duck out today since the fedex guy is coming tomorrow morning.

sorry for the ramble. thinking out loud
