Day 3

Well today is officially day three of my stay and I can honestly say that I woke up in a very good mood.  I fell asleep last night at 9:30, before my night time medication and the nurses let me sleep through and came in and took the half opened book off my bed and turned out the light and TV instead of waking me up to take my meds.  I slept through until 7am this morning when the cleaners woke me up. What an accomplishment.  I never sleep that well when I am drinking.  Tick for that box.  Today I start my drug and alcohol rehab program, which involves going to seminars and classes that tell you how bad the drugs and alcohol of choice really are for you., but they also teach you life skills that will help you stay sober.  I’ve heard it all before, but I obviously need to hear again how I’m going to have a slow and painful death, or even a quick one, but a premature death all the same.  I really appreciate the staff in here, they are caring and helpful and all that they want to do is see you get better.  I’ll write later and let you all know how my first day of classes went.
