I plan to go to treatment tomorrow. Had dui arrest and now everthing is upside down. My disease was telling me to do outpatient until I read post from people-thank you!!
Need to be kind to self and realize this is a disease and not just poor self control.

Welcome bunny I think rehab will give you a good head start. Good for you. Let us know how you make out. Put what happened behind you, learn from it, and be thankfull it wasn't worse.

Bunny. I went to rehab 6 weeks ago and still remain sober. It was I needed after a second DUI. It does help you clear your mind and give you a fresh start but like anything you have to really want this. Pay attention, learn and make a solid plan for when you get out. The things you did in treatment should carry on your your life after treatment. There is no magic pill in 28 days. I wish you all the best.
