The problem is that the GHB is only in your system and is out of your system really quickly. Because I was not breathing and smelled of alcohol, they thought I overdosed on alcohol, perhaps drugs. So they took my blood and did a toxicology test. My Blood alcohol level, stated here on my medical record they mailed me, was at a "staggering" 0.11% when I was brought in. That's what, I'm not a "rock scientist" but I'm guessing, it's about four or five beers, maybe six at the most?
Talking with my friends later after the incident we all realised that I was GHB'd, the symptoms were the same. When I told my mother, she didn't buy it, and wanted the medical record sent to us. Finally she read it (it came two weeks ago) and she was puzzled. An "overdose" of alcohol consisted of .20% or more to get where I was. We saw the drug screenings, NO drugs were in my system.
My mother explained that it would be a good idea for me to go anyway since it was my drinking that brought me to the whole situation anyhow.
I agreed. I already quit my job and moved out of my apt...so, why not.
Like I said, I have never gotten out of control or fucked up my life by drinking. But I would really like to take a time out because my life was going a bit too fast, even for my liking. I made good money, had A LOT of friends, and was an important part of a very social crowd. And my parents stated simply that my family would turn their back on me if I didn't go...they did it intervention style. My parents and my Godfather. They really thought I drank myself to near death at the time, soo take that into consideration.
I don't know what you mean by "Sober people don't go to rehab."
Do you mean "non-alcoholics" don't go to rehab?
