I'm so glad to see you are posting again. I have wondered several times where you were and how things were going with you.
About rehab. The "best" rehab...if there is such a thing, isn't any better than a mediocre one if one isn't committed to making it work. It's what WE do with our recovery opportunities that matter most in the end.
If you feel rehab can help you beat this thing, then get to rehab and make the most out of it. We can program shop ourselves to death, putting off doing what we need to do until we find the "perfect" fit, group, or rehab.
It has been my own experience that I can use the illusion of being busy with recovery (collecting books, reading up on programs, moaning about what I don't like about certain meetings etc) to keep me from doing the real work that recovery takes. It wasn't until I said now. here. no matter what. that I made true headway.
Staying active in the SR community has been HUGE for me.
