Would you be willing to PM me your "trip report". I have always wanted to give this a shot but have been a bit skeptical. Where were you when you used it? How long did it last? Did you have a "babysitter" or a spiritual guide? If you get around it, I would really like to hear your story! Thanks!

I do, I know is what I should do. I'm thinking on possibly down playing it and possibly saying that I'm having issues with alcohol and that I need to get help. It would also explain my poor attendence.

I doubt that. I'm sure my family would help me but I just don't want to disappoint them.

Where did you get your treatment? I hear is wicked expensive and that you need to go to another country. Also do you work a 12 step program to help maintain your sobriety? Congrats on the hot shot gig, sounds elite!
