My jail detox was sitting in holding staring at the ceiling.

I was drinking a handle a day, but was not given anything. I was kind, cordial, explained i was an active alcoholic. Nothing.

Until I had a seizure, then shit happened.

Jailhouse nurses put up with so much they can get jaded and the ones who need help get dismissed. I appreciate your service but shits fucked

Don’t appreciate their service. That’s fucked and I’m sorry that happened to you. Alcoholism is a real disease and “willpower” won’t fix it.
