OK it's much more like I'm going to them.
I will be going into a "Residential Treatment Center" in Washington state. I fly out on Tuesday June 19th and get checked in bright and early on the 20th. I'm afraid and relieved at the same time. Relieved that I finally made the decision to get some serious help. But now that I have been per-approved by my insurance company and I have purchased plane tickets dealing with the fear of "aghhh this is really going to happen"  going to a 28 day program, no phone, no computers, no email, no TV, and worst of all no Diet Coke, going to have some serious caffeine withdrawal.

Good luck! I can imagine it must seem a bit scary, but it also sounds like a very good opportunity, so I say well done to you for taking this opportunity.

Just try to pretend it's one of those wilderness survival shows and if you last 28 days and don't get eaten by a bear or die of diet coke withdrawal, you win $500,000
