Is rehab really necessary?

Sounds like a bunch of positive changes, DoctorMolecule...Glad to hear that your wife and her mom have your back. That's huge.

Good luck, and please keep us in the loop. We're pulling for you, man.

I think it depends on the person. In my own personal experience, some people I met were super supportive, while others were just in there because they were forced to and were complete downers. Not all rehabs are like that I'm
Sure though! As for me, I thought I was good to go until I came home, thrown back into reality and started using again. I think if I ever went again, I'd move states once leaving.

Yeah I'd love to just sit around and smoke herb all day but I see it as you take what you are given and you give what you can. So I'm mowing lawns and cooking and cleaning for mother in law someday grandma
 
The only times thus far I have gone to rehab were cuz someone sent me lol.

I almost went in the past couple years by my own volition but backed away. Inpatient would not take me and I decided outpatient would not cure me.

The first time I went to rehab looked like this well just how I got sent.

Someone at a houseparty when I was in maybe eleventh if not late tenth grade (such a daze man) my sister would often throw ratted to someone on the staff that I was smoking angel dust and threatened a guy to leave with a kitchen knife so they tox'd me lol wasn't even doing water (PCP) and that started my first stint in the system
 
Rehabs are BS!! Atleast the ones I've been to. All they consist of are daily AA or NA meetings that you can get for FREE. The daily verbal abuse from the counselors while in withdrawal was hell on earth. Some provide withdrawal support, which anyone with drug knowledge can do on their own especially if they have a healthy reason for wanting to be clean. I'd say, if you're in a really bad spot and afraid of dying: Go to a detox clinic and then start going to AA or NA meetings of your choice. Just know that any talk of the Bible or Jesus are outlawed in those meetings but it's "ok" if the freaking door knob is your higher power. FFS. I have found that getting an honest relationship with God is the most beneficial. I am still a struggling addict but not white knuckling it while I was on nothing during sobriety. Make sure that you get on all of the meds you need to make you stable even if some are controlled substances.
