I think rehab is great for people who need a break from their environment so they can focus on healing. I needed a break from myself.
Sobriety for me took many years. One of my issues has always been financial pressure for many, many years. Since I was 18 years old there's been no safety net.
Married with kids at 23 - now 55. There have been times over the years where I really thought a time out - 60 or 90 days to regroup and have some therapy would have been very helpful.
Anyway, I am glad to be sober now - and yes I never went to rehab. And NO I never read the Fix = garbage!
But, a little respite in Malibu doesn't sound bad! Maybe a way to celebrate a year
