So now the therapist says I am to go to five AA meetings a week?
And not even my therapist and I haven't even met with my case manager or therapist. I came into this rehab under the impression that there were "deviations" from AA, meaning other groups. That is what they told me. The guy who sold me on this told me the night I checked in - in addition to another person - that I don't have to go to night meetings. This is a bunch of hooey. I NEVER would have come here had I realized this was going to turn out to be forced AA and one very expensive AA deal at that. $13K for a rehab that is based on the 12 step model. Someone was actually honest enough to tell me this today - after I'd charged $13K on my credit cards. I came here for dual diagnosis and in the HOPES that deviations actually meant something.
Anyway, if anyone wants to send me out drinking, force me to go to AA. It's the surest way I'll pick up a drink. I am angry and wonder what options I have at this point.
