Once of my treatment bouts was Intensive out patient 4 nights a week. It was good. Did it work? No.
Well I don''t think anything works unless you are ready and admit alcohol and drugs have won. And accept it in the depths of your soul. It's the hardest thing to do, cuz it is so difficult imagining life without cuz you think that you will always be thinking about it, and that your life will be miserable with out it even though it is miserable with it.
But that is not true. Life is very enjoyable without it and the obsession does lift. But I believe in more than just putting down the bottle. I believe in the whole self examination that comes through working the 12 steps.
Bless you New!
