Thanks Venecia. That hit me to my core...
No, this was a separate incident, and very different from the one in May.
I've been to inpatient not once, but 3 times in the past.
Locking me up for a period of time may keep me sober while I'm in there, but when I get out I have to re-learn how to live in the real world sober. And that's what I have the real difficulty with. I don't want to keep using resources and money on treatment centers if I'm going to continue to relapse when I get out.
They didn't even used to have treatment centres, just detox at the hospital, and tons of people got sober through AA.
These are just my thoughts, and my sponsors thoughts as well...
I dunno what else to say about that idea.
