And keep posting.
I loved rehab. I was scared to go, but once I got there. . .it was AWESOME. It was like summer camp for grown ups. A better analogy is that it was like SR but face to face. It was work, but it was done in a supportive way. There were more laughs than crying. Rehab is a great way to kick start recovery and you will feel so safe there.
