Your professional reputation will most likely be ruined by perhaps
not going to rehab. Your personal life is already being ruined, guess what's next?
I say this because I have been to rehab, and it was the best thing for me. My personal life was already a dead wreck, my professional life was a disaster (I was unemployable because of my alcoholism) and I had been arrested. Suicide was on the menu for me. Rehab was 12-step based, so I was immediately involved in AA. And yes, AA is all I needed then, and now, to get sober. I got a sponsor and worked the steps, and I was able to rebuild my personal and professional life to places I never thought possible! And it can be for you as well.
