Get Mills to Rehab

Hey all!

Those of you that are close to me are most likely aware that alcohol is a big demon of mine, has been for many years. Alcoholism has ruined friendships, relationships, jobs etc for me. However, now this disease is impacting my physical and mental health worse than ever. As a result of this, it is time for me to go to rehab to detox safely, with professionals and in a safe space in order to start a happy, healthy sober life. Being an alcoholic makes me feel shame everyday, the constant worry of having seizures and overall anxiety and depression which comes with being an alcoholic. There is also the financial factors which comes into play with job loss and that desperation to need to get some cash to buy my next fix of alcohol. Not only this but the development of CPTSD due to incidents that have happened to me whilst vulnerable and under the influence. This goes hand-in-hand with alcohol always being on my mind due to the need to escape. Thus, causing me to be irritable and most certainly not the best version myself. Undeniably, there are also the long-term physical and internal effects alcoholism is having on my body which need to prevented sooner rather than later.

I have many ambitions in life. For example, healthy relationships, working with animals (as you can see in my photo), seeing the world some more... maybe eventually even a family of my own one day. Sadly, the reality is that these goals are not going to happen whilst being an alcoholic.

As we all know, rehab is expensive. Therefore, I am starting this Go Fund Me in order to get the money I need to help me get checked in ASAP.

The embarrassment and shame of having to ask for support for this most certainly does not outweigh the pros of admitting that I need serious support with my addictions. I believe and I am determined that Rehabilitation will be successful for me. I have tried many state funded addiction programmes over the years but always end up back at square one, unfortunately. Whether this is due to environmental, social or personal factors, these are irrelevant now and more serious action needs to be taken in order for me to overcome alcoholism and addiction... And to be healthy and happy!! *On a side note* although I am primarily doing this for myself, I am doing this for all of those I love and care about who my alcoholism impacts and that have been there for me throughout.

I would like to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart in advance for any contributions. Also any shares will be received with complete gratitude.
