The tools you learn to use in rehab and your newly resolved true self will be your armor when you return to the real world.

Thank you so much, Obladi! I guess a lot of it really is scary to me because it’s definitely unknown. I have really no idea what to expect. I’m sure it varies from rehab to rehab, but even what to expect today. Since I’m actually detoxing there (am now, just can’t wait to feel more comfortable) I’m wondering if I’ll be expected to “participate” today. (Don’t have that in me, at least I don’t feel I do). And as far as the detox itself, this may sound ridiculous coming from someone who has used many different drugs, but I’ve never injected anything before, strictly due to my insane fear of needles. I’m actually pretty concerned they may put me on IV fluids or something. A small price to pay, if so. I just am irrationally afraid of them.
Thank you for saying it is my job for right now, and that I’ll actually have some armor when I get out
