I have been on medical leave since 8-5 after I checked myself into an IP behavioral health hospital. Before I checked myself in I was drinking a least a bottle of wine and a pint of rum each and every night. I was suicidal and had a plan to end my life. God gave me the courage to reach out for help. I have been sober 68 days. I feel better I look healthy and feel healthy.
I am returning to work on 10-17. Work was a HUGE trigger for me. I have a high stress job. I ask that you all keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I will continue to check in here and have been attending AA meetings and I have a very good support system so I feel I am ready to return. This remaining days I am going to try to get to as many meetings as I can and really focus on my mental health amd well being.
This is a step back into reality completely. I am both excited and nervous.
