Hi Emily,
Thanks for checking upon me.If you remember I sent you an email a while back asking what kind of time frame I have for requesting to have my charge vacated.
To answer your question, no i have not called the number you gave me yet. I do not feel comfortable moving forward yet and I will explain why. I need your help in understanding what my options are moving forward.
I have not been able to keep my sobriety over the course of the entire year. I relapsed just before Thanksgiving last year and i spent Christmas and New Years in a 21-day rehab faculty ending on Jan. 11th. Also i have basically completed the bare minimum when i comes to compliance with mental health provider. Although i have been keeping all my appointments with my psychiatrist (my next is scheduled for Nov. 1st) i have not seen or communicated with my case manager since mid March.
Here is how it all happened and what i am doing now to make positive changes in my life:
I was doing fine last summer then in August around my last court date I had to do a roommate search because the lease was up in September,
Then right aournd my last court date we found a roommate and it was explained to him that it wasn't a party house and i have issues with alcohol because ii am on Disabiity. But slowly the social atmosphere crept in and i relapsed for about a month starting just before Thanksgiving which is an anniversary event for me a few times over. My roommates requested that i go to rehab and with the recommendation of my family i completed a 21-day program.
Once it was completed i my family wanted me to move in with my mom so i stayed with her for three months and my personal property was moved to my brothers basement. I found an apartment and moved out on my own mid April. While living at my moms, i tried to set up psychotherapy sessions with my case manager;s help but lost email communication with him along the way. I never followed up because i had to conduct another roommate search and search for an apartment at the same time. I did however keep all my appointments whit my psychiatrist at Sound Mental Health.
After I moved i the next few months were spent focusing on my health. While i settled into my apartment I followed up on my brain tumor check up schedule and got my 15 year MRI review done. Everything came back negative but i had to jump through a few hoops to coordinate with my doctors and insurance. A neurologist offered a referral for physical therapy. I also got a check up because i am going to start physical training this fall before thanksgiving starts. My current clinic offers nutritionist counseling. I am making a coordinated effort to establish positive changes in my life.
That includes changing my insurance provider. I am unhappy with my treatment at Sound Mental Health. So with the advise of my family i am signing up with a new HMO that cazn coordinate my mental health care. However the open enrollment window starts Oct. 15. I am also signed up for a Medicare class at North Seattle College on Oct. 13.
In the meantime i am focused on my sobriety, I found a young peoples AA meeting in my area. I am planing to reopen my case file with Division of Vocational Rehabilitation part of my Disability insurance services. I am planning on starting that service along with starting intake with a new mental health provider, seeing a nutritionist, seeing a physical therapist, starting with a physical trainer, and preparing my resume for an employment search all by Thanksgiving.
As you can see i a have made a lot of progress toward establish but i still have more to work on. The biggest thing ive learned over the past year is that i need to take responsibility for my mental health by putting more focus on taking care of my self. That is why i am telling you about my relapse over the past year. if i do not take accountability for my actions i put myself at risk for it to happen again. For me my alcoholism is a symptom of my mental health and i must take steps to protect myself so i can irradiate it from my life. I want to live a productive life rehabilitated beyond my Disability to be a productive member of society again. that is why i am ready to move on from this matter no matter the consequences.
Please help me by letting me know if there is anything i can do to still get my charge vacated from my record. i do not feel i should be punished for trying to do the right thing. If nothing can be done so be it, i accept that. The last time i was on probation starting in 2013 i had an alcohol violation very early on while i was In a state of stressful transition similar to what ive already described in this email. After i got my resources in order i successful graduated from Seattle Mental Health Court in Nov. 2015. I know it is possible for me to succeed at this.
Either way, I'm ready to move on with my life. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Breck
