It was probably the best thing that could've happened to me. If it's a good program, the staff will be quite understanding. Some may even be in recovery themselves.
The one I went to has been #1 rated in FL a few times. People come from all over the country. As long as you attend all of your sessions/classes for the day, you have your electronics (phone, laptop, etc.) from 4:30p-10:30p.
Hang in there Luna!! Being forced to do something we don’t want to do is never easy. I was forced into a lot in the beginning. I lost all autonomy for six months and most for another six months. In the beginning I was completely miserable and without hope. The only way I could get through it was to accept and embrace it. So that’s what I did. I realized that when I was using I gave my addiction everything I had. I owed it to myself to give this recovery thing everything I had too! I accepted what was happening to me and I embraced the journey and attacked it with enthusiasm. And that was when my life changed!! Keep your head up!! You are worth it!!
Do you want to get sober, Luna?
Rehab was the best thing I did for myself. Keep an open mind. This is a time for you to start your healing process. Doing the uncomfortable will help you. You got this!
no. but i have no choice
Hmmm. What’s your drug of choice?
heroin/fentanyl
Gotcha. My roommate in rehab was the same. Heroin. Mine was booze but, along with Fenatnyl/heroin, they’re probably the most life threatening. What kind of withdrawal symptoms when you don’t use?
Journal, faith based literature, pictures, usually they take anything with alcohol in it-like perfumes,lotions etc (depends how strict), comfy clothes- tshirts, active wear, pjs, and a few cute items to remember your are a QUEEN! Rehab doesn’t mean you cannot dress beautifully.
Most of all take your heart and put it all in! Wash it CLEAN. Keep it OPEN.
I was forced to go to- I am Happy 
… never thought I would say this.
That day a part of me died- a part of me resurrected.
Now with nearly 11 months sober ain’t no turning back!
terrible. but i’m sober 32 days already
i went to detox it was awful
I went to a 28 day program. You learn a lot about sobriety and yourself. I'm sober, 7+ years.
Just hit the 60 days in rehab. It sounds crazy but it’s like choosing a new you. Everything Gets Better after you rehab right.
It’s actually a beautiful thing to go through. It will help you to figure out why you drink and to get in better touch with yourself. They may take away your phone, but you will be allowed to make phone calls. This is your investment in getting healthier and happier without the booze. It really helped me a lot. I did 17 days inpatient and like 20 days out patient. I’m 7 years sober this year. When I went in to rehab I was a binge drinker.
Rehab is the best; I liked it so much I went twice! First time was forced as a teenager but I learned all kid the best things there. It goes by very quickly if you surrender to it and you don’t have a single thing to lose by going except some destructive habits. The second time I went almost 20 years later I learned almost nothing because I was arrogant and unteachable. It will be great, it’s 28 days you get to get a tuneup and restart to your life. Very fortunate and I hope it’s a decent program. Good luck!
Better than going to jail, lol.
i’ve never been arrested…
It's way worse than rehab, especially if you are detoxing.
i can imagine. i went to detox and i have 32 days sober
Then the worst is over. Rehab will be easy by comparison. I couldn't stay sober until I realized I have had PTSD my whole life, I am adopted. Now that I am managing PTSD with acupuncture, meditation and working a program of recovery, I think I can stay sober.
