My first day was the only day of bad being. I was totally confused, and i lost my basic cerebral function, i was doing a "delirum tremens", that's the words used in alcoholism for severe confusion cause by alcohol. I didn't remember where i was, what was my name, and a lot of basic knowledge that i completely forgot.
I saw a medical specialist and he said that i must go to the hospital. I was accompanied by a person who worked at the rehab center and we went to the emergency part of the hospital. I lived there a big disappointment. I wait 6 hours to see a doctor and heard that this was the result of prejudice against alcoholics. We are perceived as low mind persons.
I got my medication and that was the beginning of my physical detox (i use deintoxincation in the video sorry about the mistake) who went on during six days.
That was an easy part. The next days, where I've been treated for the emotional and psychological aspect of alcoholism was harder. But i will always say that the 60 days that i spend at this rehab center was the most happiest days since 10 years of non sober alcoholism.
I will talk about it during the next videos.

My alcoholism - and there were a miracle - Part eight
As i said in the video, may be i'll be perceived as a fool by some person, but i don't care cause it happened for real.
There were this particular winter night where i was standing on the outside stairway of the chapel i use to go, and thousand and thousand leafs fall on me.
I was so surprised and at the same time i tried to understand what was going on.
The day after, a friend of mine came to my place with a brochure about a rehab center. I wondered : This is a sign, this is my last chance.
I went to that place and i met the the director of this rehab center. He said to me that i would never had the courage to come at this place for my sobriety.
He was completely wrong.
4 days later i was ready to go to this place. That's what i did.
