Thank you and happy chatting!
Waiting in the intake room. Probably got another 30 before I see anyone while my covid test gets done. Havent had a drink in 5 days, and am feeling pretty ok. Just wanna get back to the corgi and get on with recovering. Fingers crossed they won't keep me too long, on account of i haven't had any bad WD symptoms, just a little sleeplessness. I think maybe an outpatient thing would be best, but ill probably be here for a few days at least I'd imagine.
Sending you all, all of my love 
Rooting for you
And im rooting for you comrade!
Thank you!
stay strong gamer
Thank you!
They took my Retroid tho so im stuck with phone games tho :(
Depending on your phone you can probably emulate on it, otherwise I've got a few suggestions if you want them :)
I do have retroarch on here! Just remembered that. Would need to use touch screen controls tho. Pokemon Pinball it is!
Hoping for a speedy recovery and lifelong sobriety comrade! Get back to your pupperoni soon
Thanks comrade 
How have you been?
You got this.
Feeling pretty good, lets fuckin go!
Good luck, all of us our on your side
Thanks for updating us, Comrade. I hope all the best for you. We're cheering for you. 
Wishing you love and luck. Alcohol is my crutch too. It's a tough one and it's fucking ubiquitous. You never notice how it's everywhere until you try to quit it. Be kind to yourself if you relapse. It doesn't mean you're a failure or anything like that. Just start again tomorrow. It's cliché but just treat every day like a fresh start. You got this.
Take care of yourself comrade, you got this 
Feeling good so far!
Good luck corgi!!!
Stay well Corgi!
You too!
You've got this!
Commit yourself to going to the 90 AA meetings in 90 days.
You didn't end up in a medical facility by accident.
There are LGBTQ+ meetings, Atheist/Agnostic meetings, young people meetings, etc etc.
Been going to the meetings for over a decade. Seen students, professors, cops, homeless, doctors, nurses, movie stars, artists, housewives, and every manner of neurodivergent come in and get help.
AA has a phrase we like to use; 'Terminal Uniqueness,' people who keep on using because they are sure that they are special and can drink safely even when their families, their friends, and every medical professional tells them to stop.
Thanks comrade, I'll look into some stuff near me!
Everything AA and Meeting Guide are two apps you can download for free.
Everything AA has the AA literature, plus a guide for online meetings.
Meeting Guide locates AA meetings in your area [or another town if you want.]
You'll hear this in every AA meeting; addiction is the disease that tells us we don't have a disease.
Look at Heath Ledger/Whitney Houston/Marilyn Monroe/Amy Winehouse/Elvis. All were young, beautiful, talented, acclaimed, and beloved. Any one of them would be happy to trade all their money and fame for the chance you have right now.
Downloading now!
When you go into the rehab or the Out Patient Program, just look at your peers. You'll see some people who are treating it like a joke, or a chance to get the family/job/courts off their back. They are already planning the next drink. Stick with the quiet ones who listen to the staff and take the suggestions. It's much easier to win your battles when you have an army standing with you.
Good luck comrade and remember, relapse is part of recovery, there's no shame in it just be safe.
Oh, Corgi, that's rough. Get well soon. We all love you here.
And I love you all too
Best of luck to you friend, you got this
Thanks comrade
Good luck comrade
We're all pulling for you, glad to see an update (and glad they're taking covid seriously tbh... I can't imagine anywhere in my city doing that)

Sending you all my love and positive energy comrade I believe in you!

Sending you all, all of my love
