Okay. Thanks. Then, I'm wondering...how long did it take you to "surrender"? Obviously everyone is different, but I'm just curious about times. I mean, I can't imagine most people "surrender" on day 1 of rehab or they'd be able to head home after detoxing. And I'm obviously trying so hard and not drinking now, but I don't feel I've "surrendered".
