Good for you. Go because you know you need it. No matter what anyone else questions or thinks.
I had to embellish my story (as requested by the intake counselor) in order to qualify for IOP because I showed up sober and of my own accord. Then, I walked into AA by myself nearly 30 days sober. There were a few people who were skeptical, and the lady I picked as a sponsor at the time told me I wasn't "that bad off." Which didn't even make sense. I suppose if you don't walk in bedraggled there are people who will eye you with suspicion. In AA, there was a need to compare war stories amongst a certain set of people, and I guess I'd never have fit into their secret club
No matter that the hell I'd already been through as a child and young adult would make many of their own stories pale in comparison.
For some of us, it's the mental and emotional anguish that trumps any sort of tangible or external loss.
