Countdown roll call

Published

As of today I have 99 days of this hell left!

Oh god!!!

I’m supposed to write something about how this experience saved my life or some such nonsense? I don’t know if that will fly off my word processor with any ease. I guess it fits though when you got a gun to your head you will do pretty much anything to include inpatient, out patient “rehab”, nurse support meetings which are full of rah rah lies only uttered to get the counselor off your back, endless testing (the only thing that I needed) and attendance at 12 step meetings that are like one hour in detention after school

good grief

Under a week, 5 days to go specifically. All documentation is in. I do expect another test this week, however I am apparently in a location for LabCorp in which it seems to be a 24 hour turnaround. They’ve done their 2 for this month So if past history is any indication it will either be nothing or blood. That would suck because those seem to take a week to return.?

Either way, it’s their move now.....

Cats I hope they test you first thing tomorrow if they test at all. I truly hope they leave you alone at this point but I rather doubt it. Get through this week and never look back on this putrid experience again. Get on with your life and know you are a survivor and for that matter a winner

So happy for you, Cats. Your posts are the ones I’ve most related to with this experience. Five years has just felt excessive but thankfully I’ve got 71 days left until freedom.

Nothing yet, shhhh!!

I’ve also left a VM for the case manager, wanting to know the status and so far been ignored. I won’t be shocked if they drag their feet, in spite of what I was repeatedly told. Why? Because they can and there isn’t a damn thing I can do about it.

I’ve been something of a thorn the last several years in terms of standing up for myself and not letting them steamroll me with BS and lies. I see them Dallying around with the tail end like this as par for the course.

So i’ll Keep playing their little games and doing what I’ve been doing for the last 5+ years....???

Got a letter asking for documentation that I’ve already given them. Today an acknowledgement that I’ve given them everything. Now I wait some more.

Wow. Yep. I suppose they can just "take as much time" as they see fit. Smh.

Yep that’s how I hear it is here. They apply for you to be released but you ain’t done till they say so. This is how a 3 year program turns into a 4 year one in reality. I was sent to inpatient rehab in October almost three years ago. They won’t even apply for me to be released till the spring at the earliest
