Clearly this is not the case at all. I went to rehab and then drunk again after coming out, if I had known what to do I would not have drunk again. After rehab I came out and did exactly what I did before in my efforts to avoid taking a drink.
It was suggested to me that I do something different, I.e. Go to AA meetings, get a sponsor, work the steps and I accepted all that as great advice but didn't do any of it except skulk into a meeting now and again.
Not to worry though because if the feeling inside that I was going against what would get me sober became too painful I would just reach out to find people to tell me I was doing A OK and off I would go on my crazy journey for another few months totally in denial of reality.
