Oh and its my birthday today so sorry if I'm a little introspective and sarcastic about things. Yes, now 44 years with nothing to show for all the hard work I've put in! <sighs>
Happy birthday Chakaido, I hope you have a good day.
On your question about rehabs, from what I have seen round here where I live that is, wellness is not really part of the focus. There are organisations that run spiritual retreats, I believe we have a monastry here that runs them. They seem to be more or less secular in nature and provide a great space for reflection and a little spiritual guidance is provided if required. I relate sprituality to having meaning in my life. Perhaps you can find something like this where you live. it doesn't really have anything to do with alcoholism, but more a chance for you to reflect in peace.
God bless,
