Has anyone been to rehab?

[guest]

Rehab and the concept of addiction is Jewish mischief. Exercise some self-control. Or don't. But it's all your decision.

It's a DISEASE aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhh

I'm a lot happier with alcoholism than I would be with, say, cancer or homosexuality or something like that.

Couple times a week if not every day

Have you tried quitting or cutting back on your own?

I have cancer??

"Couple times a week" is rehab worthy?

I'm surrounded by functional alcoholics. If you don't start drinking in the car on the way to work and only stop when you finally pass out at 3am then don't worry about it, bud.

I drink every night but don't start until after 6 but usually end up falling asleep in my chair. How bad an alchie am I?

Is it helpful at all? Have some difficulty with booze lately

How much is it effecting your daily life and how hard have you tried stopping?

I went to a rehab in St. Louis. I was forced to go or lose my career. It was one of the most enjoyable 30 days of my life despite withdrawal from meth, benzos, and heroin simply because I was away from my daily life and my wife.

There’s no secret magic at rehab. It’s just addiction counselors, group therapy, AA shit, and possible supervised detox / medication.

The real benefit of rehab is that you are completely pulled out of your daily life and routine for 30 days.

How beneficial that will be for you is down to the individual.

All of that being said I do not think I would ever go to rehab voluntarily again unless I was at rock bottom.

At the level your describing in this thread, I would be investigating private therapy / detox / naltrexone/ etc.

Lol one time we got goodie bags with it from the pharmacy that they didn't check. Thought about it. But I had gotten booze in and it was just whatever so I didn't bother

I still have my giant covid bottle and best believe I Google whether I can drink it every once in a while

Rehabs expensive as fuck even if you got insurance. $3k for 2 wks is the cheapest around here, unless youre homeless or jobless. Then its fucking free. Leeches.

I once knew this guy that failed a drug test at his job, for weed. They made him go to rehab to keep his job. So they had one of those meetings where everyone shares their addiction stories. There's the girl who blew guys for pills, the guy who poured meth straight into his open sores, the alcoholic who woke up every morning vomiting blood. Then they get to him and he says "I'm ___ and I like smoking weed, so I need to do this to keep my job". They all started berating him, calling him a fraud and etc. So he said fuck the job, and left rehab the next morning.

I think some places will do the rehab thing to CYA about firing someone with an addiction, and once they finish they just find some reason to fire that person anyways.

If you don't have to drink to function you're probably ok to just cut back.

 

[Ladynyahh]

Rehabs for quitters, I heard that somewhere
