So I checked myself into the hospital yesterday evening. My drinking was hitting the point to where things were gonnna get painful, and I didn't want to continue imbibing just to stop the pain.
Of course I drove myself, the hospital workers were not thrilled by that ( should note that my blood alcohol level was only .29 - not sure ridiculous.. They hooked me up to the started IV bags, loaded with mostly fluids and antivan. I also got a script for Vatican. They did full urine and blood tests. Tests whose results I actually got back. Things were ok. Surprisingly no permanent liver damage is present. Some levels were elevated, but I was told that was because of my recent drinking.
I'm liking the Ativan, its anti-anxiety medication. I feel pretty mellow - makes the coming down process much nicer. Gonna have to find a way to get a script for it again. I have a feeling I can use to it curtail the drinking. One strange side effect is that words seems to move all over the page. And it makes me clumsy.

From one person on the edge to another, please take care of yourself. This time of year can be expecially stressful.
It is also a good time to change.
I have a few friends finding their way like you. Problem is you can only keep getting fucked up like this for a short period of time- which I think you get.
Take care of yourself.
Hoping things get better for you. Glad the Ativan is helping.
Take care.
