Don't start believing the lie now that you're starting to feel better. Just follow directions and don't act on any thought you have. You like to write music, do that. But whatever you do, don't leave.

I had a pretty structured inpatient Rehab last November. We each had weekly calendar, in which every waking hour on the hour we knew where we were at what we were doing. No going to your bedroom. I was immersed in learning, lectures, lessons, exercise, yoga, etc etc. Now,, had I known this and the fact I'd be in a house with all women (age 18 plus, mainly 20- 30 something). My disease might have talked to me and told me, I'm ok, I can handle my "problem" on my own! The 3rd week, of the 1 month stay, my disease RAGED that I didn't need this frigging place to stay sober!! 
I ended up staying 'just for the night'. I woke up in the morning in my single bed. I was so thankful they hadn't kicked me out. Bobbi

Hang in there NickG and do whatever it takes..

"The word God still aroused a certain antipathy.
When the thought was expressed that there might be a God
personal to me this feeling was intensified.
I didn't like the idea. . .
My friend suggested what then seemed a novel idea.
He said, 'Why don't you choose your own conception of God?'
That statement hit me hard.
It melted the icy intellectual mountain in whose shadow
I had lived and shivered many years.
I stood in the sunlight at last."

Do what they tell you to do. Follow directions. Do not fight it, even if it's uncomfortable. Share as much as you can. Rehab is a great, safe place to learn how to be honest with others and yourself.
Good luck!
