Well that's the theme for the first few days in rehab. Out here in the country with a bunch of drunks and drug addicts.. Who would have thought..
Wow, here I am. My first afternoon in rehab. Stayed in the detox area for most of the afternoon. Slept.
Got up in time for supper and my first AA meeting. One thing about this place, the food was very good. My first AA meeting was at 7 that night. First time that I uttered, I'm Mike and I'm an Alcoholic. Didn't believe it that time but everybody else was saying it so go along to get along.
At 10 p.m. go to take my evening meds. Told them I was having a hard time sleeping. First night took their brand of vitamin which included melatonin, took a visteral for anxiety, and a trazadone for sleep. And sleep I did. Got up the next morning for breakfast.
Spent most of breakfast face down in my migas. Could not wake up. Went to take morning meds after breakfast and the RA put me back to bed. I could hardly stand up. I had been sober for several days at this time, but I sure looked drunk at that time. Slept till 10 a.m. Didn't do much before lunch. Friday afternoon was recreational time and most everybody went on the bus and got to go bowling. They have this 24 hour rule. They left for bowling at 3 and I had gotten there the day before at 3:30. Didn't qualify to go. Got to stay back with those stumbling around in detox. Oh well, if the song fits wear it.
