Injury/Illness
Mental Illness
I recently relapsed and since then picked up what pieces that were left and got myself help. Since relapse I have been following the suggested levels of care. I completed a 6 day detox in Miami, a 21 day residential program in Tampa and I’m currently at ARIA Treatment & Rehabilitation Center in West Palm Beach, Florida working on my mental health. I’ve been unable to work while receiving treatment and with no income at the moment, keeping up on my car payments has been very challenging. I decided I’d rather loose my jeep than loose my life and made the commitment to see treatment all the way through. All the way through may be another 60 days or more. Loosing my life to this battle is not an option for me and I would prefer not to loose my means of transportation either. It’s not easy asking for this sort of help but I won’t let my ego dictate my future. I’m extremely grateful for this platform and I’m extremely grateful for those who care!!!
