I was due to go through a 5 week treatment program (Minnesota) following my detox period. I ran away from the detox place after the first night staying over and being given a lot of 'come down' medication for my withdrawal symptoms.
I was then sober for around 4 weeks living back in my own house, before dropping back a little bit, i.e drinking around 20 beers/glasses of wine daily (no hard booze) for around 4 weeks, had some sober days then/ some days drinking a little less. Now trying to stay stone cold sober and seeing how long I can do this.
But yes, I refused the treatment program as I simply didn't believe in it deep inside. It probably sounds wrong to most of you guys (not judging any of you, mind you). We're all individuals, at the end of the day.
