I have been in 2 rehabs and I am not against going again, but I hope I can get some things into place that I will be able to do it with out inpatient rehab. SMART recovery is a resource that I have a my disposal. AA is very limited in my community and I at one time shunned its ideals. I have over the last 15 years came to understand a spiritual journey has a foundation in the 12 steps and I no longer feel opposed to it. I also have a wonderful counsoler in place. The rest is up to me. Should I set a time limit and if I am unable to quit drinking by..... then rehab? It is difficult to understand how sick we really are. Thank you for any input
