Rehab update #1


Internet usage is very limited here, and I can't have a phone, but, I'm doing very well today. I had a major psychotic episode last night though, and they had to put me on some extremely heavy anti-psychotics. I was literally going crazy, breh :mjcry:

The doc changed up my dosages and gave me an anti-psychotic to take in the morning too (previously I took them at night only). But today, I feel great! I'm really improving brehs. My counselors and psychiatrist all say that I'm making great progress.

This shyt is literally life changing. I feel like a new man, frfr. I'm becoming more positive and spiritual (which is "absolute infinity" for me). I read the "Big Book" (the Alcoholics Anonymous book), and it made so much sense. I've also learned that bi-polar people, like myself, are substantially more vulnerable to addiction problems than "normal" people. I just gotta work the steps and stay away from anybody or any place that serves alcohol (they say for a year). I also have to go to 90 AA meetings in 90 days once I get out. I'm taking this shyt extremely serious, breh...EXTREMELY!



Thanks, breh :salute:


I'll try to provide updates more frequently. Thanks for everyone's support. The daps, the reps, the well-wishes, etc., mean a lot. Thanks coli fam :salute:

Also, once I get out of rehab, I'm going to be doing an AMA on rehab in TLR. I'm sure there are other posters on here with addiction problems that need help. I want to provide that help. Plus, service work is a key component to recovery. So, win/win :win:
I'm glad to hear you're doing good, kiddo. I know u mentioned these kind of matters before but I didnt realize it led to an episode. Stay strong and dont do anything you ain't supposed to be doing.:datazz:

What was your addiction?
I'm in here for alcohol (I was drinking so much). I'm a very anxious person, and was taking 4mg of klonopin a day for years. They detoxed me from that in August, and I simply switched alcohol for the klonopin, to stay less anxious. Then shyt got worse and worse with the drinking. I was literally blacking out every day; like I couldn't remember what happened the day before (like nothing). I was getting DTs serious too, if I didn't drink. I knew I had to go in. I'm actually in a special group here for professionals and executives. All the people in my group are lawyers, MDs, and PhDs. It's a very exclusive group. It makes me feel better about myself to know other "successful" and "educated" people have alcohol and drug problems too.

Thanks, breh. I'm taking this super serious. I'm done with drugs and alcohol. I just need to go to AA meetings every night when I get out to remain sober. I keep my first chip (the chip to pledge that you won't drink for 24 hours) in my pocket everyday. I will do that for the rest of my life I think. I also got an chip (my god is absolute infinity) that I keep in my pocket as well. Those chips are so important to me.

I also saved off my beard, to signify that I'm a new man. :wow:

They block games for a reason, stop enabling him.
:pacspit: I ain't trying to play games on these piece of shyt computers at the hospital. I just want to know what's happening in the gaming world right now. I really wanna play Far Cry 5 :mjcry: But, my health and sobriety are more important.

I'm gaming the fukk outta shyt when I get back home. Instead of drinking and shyt, I'm gonna play more video games. I think it's a healthier "addiction." But, I definitely won't play so much that I can't work or anything. Plus, I'm on a nicotine inhaler that only costs $30 a month for 168 cartridges (it's a prescription nicotine replacement that gradual reduces the amount of nicotine with each pull every month [its basically a 6 month taper]). shyt, I was spending a shyt ton on alcohol and cigs. That shyt is over.

I'm gonna buy that Vive Pro and wireless adaptor @-DMP- was talking about, with the money I'll save from drinking and smoking. :blessed:

Today was a good day. I didn't go crazy, and the food was pretty good (well, as good as you can get at a rehab hospital...:russ:)
