Well guys this is it. I made a HUGE decision today. HUGE. I am leaving Wednesday for rehab in AZ. I have never been more excited and scared in my life. I finally had the courage to get EVERYONE on board, I mean everyone, family, work etc and I am off, for 5 weeks. The place I am going is rated one of the best in the country and is said to really work if you make it work. So dont be scared that I fell of the deep end or died or something. I will write when I return. I couldnt do this taper and felt that all I was doing was hurting myself.

Reach, I think this is it, this place really take a HARD look at you from the inside out,spiritually and physically. A piece of the puzzle has been missing for all these years and I finally got the courage to fix it. I love you and your worRAB. Please keep helping others, you mean the world to me.

Love

I write at the moment with the tears running down. I am so overwhelmingly happy and proud of you. Yes, I also think this is it. I think this will truly be a life-changing experience that has been a long time coming. You have come out of your closet, friend. Totally out and I believe with all my heart it is a needed step.

The help will be there for the physical, but so much more importantly, for the mind. D, when I finally opened up and stepped out of my own closet, I felt such a sense of jubulation and HOPE. Oh, Lord above, I finally had found hope after such a long, dark, solo journey. My friend and family erabraced me in my need and held me up as I healed. There is no shame anymore, D, only wonderful hope. It takes courage to step up when we are so fearing something and do it anyway( Title of a great book, actually.. Face the Fear and Do It anyway).

Honestly, I never anticipated you taking this step. Hot Damn! I am so very, very happy that you have. The physical and mental and spiritual demons are going to start losing their grip. You will come out a stronger, happier man. My tears are turning into a grin now.

While our "coming out" may occur in a different manner, I know the results will coincide. The time out you are granting yourself neeRAB to be a time of selfishness, a good selfishness. The daily responsibities will not be there for a while and your time will be spent focusing on you and regaining the health and thinking that is needed.

D, there will be no other Christmas present in my stocking this year that will even come close . God Bless you.

Love

D,
I am so very happy for you. As I have said, I have been lurking for years and know your story. I kept meaning to log in and ask you if medical detox/rehab is a viable option for you because it seemed to be the best solution. Voila! I find out you are going! I wish I could go away for a bit but it seems that no one wants me! I guess my habit isn't big enough.
 
Oh, wow! I sure didn't see that one coming. What a great surprise! I am so happy for you that you took the huge leap to get off of the drugs and alcohol. I'm kind of like ReachOut right now, grinning with tears in my eyes. Good Luck to you and your new life!! That made my day.

Congratulations!

P.S. - Arizona is great this time of year!! :-)
 
Tears --all over the place --I didnt think a man could cry any more than I have in the last 24 hours. More to come I guess. Last day with my kiRAB today and wife. That is surreal and very hard. It is time for me to get really selfish though. THis is ME time. Finally, they will be the same loving kiRAB when I return, and daddy will be better. Lots to do today. I have never even done my own laundry--can you were the same shirt for 5 weeks? lol

Go in peace as you begin this new chapter in you Life. Bring with you the thoughts of your family to remind you that you are loved and the thoughts of your frienRAB to remind you that you are supported. Expect revelations about yourself. Expect tears. Expect to be healed.

I'll be waiting in the berry patch
