Here is an update on my meeting with the CARE unit from the BON: the therapist who did my evalutation has agreed that a 30day in pt would be sufficient however I must follow the inpt recovery programs recommendations when D/ced and they must keep the Care manager constantly updated. When I spoke with the Care manager she was actually much nicer on phone. So this isn't too bad, I would rather do outpt since I have already done inpt however at least the therapist convinced the CARE manager that 30days would probably be sufficient vs 60-90 days. I am grateful I have insurance through my husband and I pray it pays for the entire 30days. With that being said now I must decide on when to go, thank goodness my family is being super supportive despite the pain I have caused. I started DUI classes so I'm not sure if I will finish these classes or go ahead inpt. I have lost my driving license for 30days however I wont get them back until after I complete the DUI classes. These are cadillac problems, I am grateful that the legal side is finalized and now will begin this journey. I have faith that as long I stay sober and work my program I will be able to handle the future one day at a time. Thank you all for your support and information.

Keep putting one foot in front of the other, stay clean and sober, and keep attending your meetings...everything else seems to fall into place. It might not happen overnight, but it will happen. As you said, it could have been much more difficult. Take this time to really focus on you and getting well.

Congrats!

Jack
