Rehab is a horrifying joke. At least the ones I experienced. Not to knock anyone who used it to get clean of whatever, I mean, it's a tool if you want to use it, you just have to do it yourself.
And I want to be clear it's not just opiates. Old AA drunks are obnoxious in their own special way, and I believe enjoy a sense of being "special" in that they live in their ridiculous chronic "disease" that follows them everywhere like a little badge.
Okay, so I can stay up late and show a little contempt for these groups, not all of it fair. I'm saying the person who just injects unauthorized medicine into his veins is not the target of society's contempt. The one who slinks around and steals your shit is the one society dumps on. And those folks like to commiserate about it.
In turn, the junkies might feel a little justified stealing shit from an asshole, and a spiral of contempt starts swirling a little faster.
How about, no subculture is an island?
And I think maybe going into your recovery with the mindset of a subculture you identify with, will effect your chances of success. Just something to consider.
