Folks that took medical leave for alcohol use treatment: What was your experience? Did you do inpatient detox? anyone skipped detox and go straight into an outpatient IOP? How was that? How long were you out on leave? How much notice did you give ur boss before the leave? Anyone quit/not go back?
Iโ€™m ready to get real treatment for my alcohol usage. Would love to benchmark my path against others in the group as I donโ€™t trust my decision making ability right now.

Just wanted to post an update. 68 weeks ago I posted about my drinking problems. It was bad. Itโ€™s been 8 months now without a single drink. I still canโ€™t believe it. I still miss drinking. Iโ€™ve sat with coworkers and watched them drink. Itโ€™s not nearly as fun, but I am so thankful each morning I can hold my head up high. Will I drink again? I only said I would quit for 60 days. Can I have a beer? Some wine? A fine bourbon? I sometimes crave it. I guess there is the answer! You can all do this!

Feeling so frustrated and scared. I am trying my hardest to be loving to my brother who is addicted to many things. My family has been encouraging him for years to get real help.
