Rehab gave me the tools to stay sober and a running start on recovery. I was desperate for a better way to live.

That being said, no one else who was in rehab with me maintained any long-term sobriety after getting out.

As a matter of fact, one of the girls I roomed with relapsed after getting out and was dead a week later. She was in her 20's.

No one call tell you what to expect.

I highly recommend Alanon meetings for you, and a book called "Codependent No More" by Melody Beattie.

She's where she needs to be right now.

You need to take care of you right now.

Sending you hugs of support.
