Great. But you can’t “hope it works for you,” it’s all or nothing if you’re planning to go to rehab it’s not going to fix you or your issues or there environment you live in. Sobriety entails a complete life transformation, new friends literally cut the ones out now, new job new career, new everything! It’s not easy but worth it. If you truly are not ready and have not grasped the concept of acceptance and willingness to do whatever it takes to stay sober rehab won’t do anything for you besides cost you an arm and leg to get dry for 15 - 30 days. Also if you do rehab 15-30 days is not even enough time. It takes well around 6 months to 1 year plus in a facility for long term sobriety if you seriously think you have a problem that’s taking you to rehab. After rehab get into a sober living home. No excuses and stay until you’re comfortable to leave and do a normal life. I’m telling you right now no f’ing person or rehab will change this for you as much as they support you YOU have to do it. Get into AA and go rehab does nothing for anyone so if look yourself
In the mirror real talk and ask yourself is this even worth it or am I actually even ready to take on this RESPONSIBILITY of sobriety! Cause hun this is a LIFETIME change not a 1 month to a year oh I can go back to drinking it’s a LIFETIME change. It won’t teach you how to be a normal drinker, especially if you’re going to rehab, you have an issue rehab is not normal it’s for the sick so many ppl go and come back out relapse and go back on what a waste of LIFE and TIME. So really ask am I ready for this change? If so congrats life is going to be insanely better but not ina week or a month or 2,3,4,5,6 or more it’s going to take a lot effort and time just a heads up here.
I say this with all do respect, it took me everything to get sober and stay sober. I didn’t get to rehab I found a sober living house moved in and lived the life of sobriety I wanted to leave after 5 months and stayed for 18 months cause I didn’t want to go back to that lifestyle it kept me sober and helped build a solid foundation for me to stay sober and immerse myself into the AA program working the steps with a sponsor. I’m just saying this will take everything

I already put in my application, it's a 12 month program and I will aside by all the rules amd do thos properly. I haven't had a near death experience but I know in my heart I will of I keep going the path I was. I have faith I'm strong enough to do this and the love and support I have was an eye opener. I know it'll be a hard road and I will do all the research and I'm determined to come out the human I know I can be. A sweet, kind, honest, smart,strong person.
Everyone is different. I never went to any rehab. No aa... they like to label you .. I won't be labeled. I did it all by myself. I just made my mind up that I needed to stop. 20 years of hard core partying . I lived a rock star life.
