How do I tell my employer I need time off for treatment?

I'm terrified of losing my job, but I can't keep doing this. Did anyone here use FMLA? How did the actual conversation go?

First week home from residential — what does a good day actually look like?

My son comes home Friday after 45 days. He's nervous, I'm nervous. For those who've done this: what did the good first weeks look like, hour by hour?

I hate group settings. Is there a version of recovery that isn't meetings?

Introvert, social anxiety, the circle-of-chairs thing makes my skin crawl. Am I doomed to white-knuckle this alone or are there real alternatives?
