Echoing what everyone else has already said, I wish you much luck, tif. Acknowledging that there’s a problem is always the right way to start.

that's very profound. I like it and will likely steal it at some point.Asking for help isn’t giving up - it’s refusing to give up.
Tif, glad to hear you've started a new journey. you can do it and we're all here for you.

At one point I actually threw the cardiac pack at someone; that's when they decided to tape it to me, like Mummy-style wrap around my chest.
And remember, at this point in my life I'm 4 days into sobriety.

I'm glad for you tif!
This made me realize it's been 9 days since I've had alcohol and I'm kind of ashamed to admit that's the longest dry spell I've had in quite some time. Like... As far as I can remember, years.

I'm very sorry to hear about what you're going through, Tif. It sounds like things are going to suck for a while. But in this case I think you have the certainly that things will be better on the other side. Hang in there.

I just found a voice message on my phone 'Hello Mr Tif, this is West Hills Hospital. We cannot find you, so could you please call us, so we do not need to call the police to find you."

@tifosi77
Thank you for sharing all of this. Best of luck, as others have said, with both your immediate and long term recovery. It's a shitty feeling I'm sure, but it will get better with time. That I promise you.

I just can't believe people (even with office jobs) went back to work the day after. I can't even grab my pants to pull them up.
Side note, apparently the anesthesia wore off and I woke up mid procedure so that was fun.

My son has been doing #3 and puking for two days. He seems to be on the mend. My wife just started doing both at the same time. My daughter and I are unscathed.... So far.
I'm sitting on the couch watching the Pens with an existential dread I can't describe.
