Please update soon! By the way, I don't understand, why is Edward sick right right now? Is this what happens to alcoholics when they go into withdrawl? Or is this the side effect of the antibiotic?

Wow. Just heard of this story today and I AM HOOKED. I love bad ass Bella and poor, broken Edward. Em, Jasper and Rosalie are so lovable, also. And Esme, that bitch, she's despicable. Can't wait to see what happens next.

its getting better and better... wah! please update as soon as you can.. im hooked already..

This story is absolutely amazing. The writing is definitely more mature than a lot of stuff that is on this site. I especially love the way you portray Edward's progression into withdrawal. I honestly cannot wait for more D

Jesus, you guys make my head spin. Laughing my ass off one minute. He humped his freakin' leg! ROTF! Then the withdrawal kicks in...damn. Just damn.

This is a really interesting premise for a story, and I'm really looking forward to the next installment!

I typoed by Librium protocol; corrected:

Librium (chlordiazepoxide)

Day 1 50 mg q 4 hrs hold if pulse60

Day 2 50 mg q 6 hrs hold if pulse60

Day 3 25 mg q 4 hrs

Day 4 25 mg q 6 hrs

Day 5 25 mg q 8 hrs

Day 6 25 mg q 12 hrs

Day 7 25 mg HS (2100)

I am very impressed that not only did you get the medications for chlamydia correct, but they were all spelled correctly. You are a very thorough researcher. Kudos!

Very good chapter. I'm impressed with the psychological implications you have woven in his backstory.

He's got the attitude. Even after nearly dying of carbon monoxide. Alcoholics die or hit rock bottom to want to change. This "kidnapped coercion/isolation is an interesting premise.

Excellent chapter.

Very good opening chapter. I'm a chemical dependence RN and far as the physical withdrawal 48-96 hrs is the most critical

for delirum tremens. Librium protocol is the most effective

and humane, with oral vitamins (especially thiamine). For chronic alcoholics with over 1/5 Etoh consumption per day (or 24 pk beer/day) IM magnesium sufate injections every eight hrs times 3 injections are necessary to raise the seizure threshold. Chronic alcoholics die of seizures in withdrawal, and aspirate their own vomitus, essentially dying of aspiration pneumonia/asphyxiation.

(Librium protocol consists of Day 1 50 mg q 4-6 hrs p110

Day 2 50 mg q 8 hrs

Day 3 25 mg q 6 hrs

Day 4 25 mg q 4 hrs

Day 5 25 mg q 8 hrs

Day 6 25 mg q 12 hrs

This protocol can be adjusted/extended based on pulse/BP

Hopes this helps.

Wow. How messed up is that! God! And his mom only made it worse. You are both doing so well with this.

Hehehe. Poor Emmett. THAT was funny. Your story is so good. You guys are doing a good job. I really love Bella! This story has me laughing one minute, then wanting to cry the next. Poor Edward! It sounds like despite living in luxury, he's had a really sad life. Money isn't everything and it can't make life perfect.

LOL. Ok, I know the subject matter is not funny and is very sensitive, but the shit she is putting him through so far is a riot! Are there really places like this? Because it sure would seem like it would be effective...and probably illegal, lol. She did have him smuggled into Mexico after all.

Ok, so keep in mind as you read my review I have a strange twisted humor. I can laugh at the worst moments, wether they are my worst moments or someone elses. Obviously, this is a very serious subject matter and I take it very seriously. There is no excuse for driving drunk.

That said, I laughed my ass off with this: "I smirked, hoping to come across as good looking to her as most of the female population." Seriously? He PISSED himself and he is trying to be all "I am so hot, all the girls want me"! That is so freaking hilarious and so believable of a drunken asshole like him! And I was laughing my ass off at Emmett and Jasper when they drug his naked ass out of bed. God that was funny.

I know I just started this and you have like 5 chapters already up, but so far it sounds like you are doing an awesome job. I will continue to read...and review, too, of course
