This American Life
809: The Call

So I went off to detox and detoxed with no medication.

This American Life
809: The Call

It was awful. I just remember going in and I couldn't lay in the bed. It was so cold. They had the AC blasting. It was summertime. Of course, AC's on, but you're going through withdrawal, so you're so cold. I couldn't lay in the bed because they give you these thin blankets. I went in the bathroom where there's a heater thing in there and laid on the floor. They dragged me out.

They wouldn't let me stay in the bathroom. They're like, you can't lay in here. And so then I waited for them to leave and I went into the bathroom. The only thing that felt good was I stripped down naked. It was a really small bathroom with like tile floors. So I had to throw my clothes out of the door back into my room.

I always said, like, my body was too poisonous for anything to live inside. Like, I, you know, I had done so much to myself and just, like, berated my body and, you know, there was no way anything was going to be able to live in this toxic environment.

And I think there was definitely a part of me that thought I didn't know how to be a mother. So when I found out I was pregnant, even if I had to do it by myself, I was going to do it. I'm 31 years old. I was sober. I moved to a brand new place, started with nothing. And like, I knew I could do this. If I could do everything I was doing, I could do this too.
