It's not really the rehab that's important it's the detox and learning new coping skills

I quit without rehab. I built a strong support group around me to hold me accountable. Find what works for you and stick to it. Reach out if you need to.

I went to outpatient treatment forever ago and didn't find much help. Tried a different place recently and it was awful. You don't necessarily need to go to treatment. Besides detoxing and coping skills, you need to stay busy and find a hobby so you don't get bored and get regular health check ups to make sure you are healthy too.

Yes. I submerged into the AA program. The Fellowship accepted me, I have been to meetings every day of my last 7years 9months of sobriety. I became involved with service, H&I, sharing openly, and make calls to other AAs when I need it as well as answer those calls when they ring.

First the nudge from the judge., then AA

I learned how to rely on my group at first then my highest power… now I use both daily and it’s been working for over 7 years…
It takes what it takes,, and willingness :heart:

No rehab, no counseling, just Jesus and determination!! I am 102 days clean! I was literally taking 6 plus hydros daily! Cold turkey dealt with the 2 weeks of hellish detox. I am now clean and feel amazing!

I didn't go to a rehab I detoxed on my own and found my local AA

I quit drinking many many times but needed 30 days inpatient to deal with a lot of tragedy and trauma. Best decision I ever made

I never went to rehab but honestly wish I had. My drinking was pretty advanced, I was really truly at the end, blacked out 24/7. Somehow I quit with just AA but the post acute withdrawal hit me hard some of it I still deal with

#19

I did. I went to celebrate recovery and was court ordered to classes. But no rehab. God was my rehab.

I agree. I don’t understand how outpatient is useful for anyone. It’s so basic and nonspecific.
