You're sending yourself a pretty strong me...Hi,<br />You're sending yourself a pretty strong message that something needs to change - and look, from my own experience it can seem really hard to just drop everything and take a break to reset and detox - but that is what you are saying you want.<br /><br />So just do it.<br /><br />Get in touch with your Human Resources and tell them you need a week off - the go to your doctor and get a note so you aren't worried about it.<br /><br />Then go home and make a solemn pledge to yourself that you wont' touch alcohol for a week and you will do nothing except drink water and rest. My best sober periods including this one came from a solid weeks rest and plenty of water. Just watch tv and lay around on the couch or whatever.<br /><br />You are exhausted and even those vague thoughts of self harm are crystal clear signals that you need to stop and give yourself a break.<br /><br />Doing this will clarify your need to stop drinking. You're not taking a week off to catch up on drinking - you're taking a week off to ease off the drink.<br /><br />Let's see if we can't take strong, positive action and confront this alcohol once and for all.<br /><br />Thinking of you and hoping you are ready for the change.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />BrenBren Murphyhttp://brenmurphy.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561779952062755742.post-13963197092503865982015-08-06T14:04:50.562-07:002015-08-06T14:04:50.562-07:00Wow!

I'm glad the Naltrexone seems to be effective. Whatever works.Kary Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12674442468925628974noreply@blogger.com
