Oh and about an earlier post of yours Paperdolls, I

---->DO NOT WANT TO GO TO SOME FROU FROU RESORT REHAB<---

lol, which is partly what my parents are afraid of. (And I did offer "wanting to go to rehab" as an explanation for why I started using again once, which my naive parents bought--I guess like how gambling addicts don't actually enjoy gambling and just want to go to bankruptcy court; this thoughtless, addict blurb is not helping my case now that I actually want rehab).

I just don't see how getting babied and pampered at a resort would help me for the real world at all. If I'm going on vacation, I'd rather do it when I'm healthy and go with family or friends.

I want to go to one where it will be hard work, particularly physically, but also compassionate. I'm in no position to be picky though and it sounds like specialized programs are more the exception than the norm.

For me, this is a perfect recipe for disaster...I needed professional guidance and support. This almost tells me to "do it my way." Not meant to offend at all.

If you need to go to rehab then just go. Quit trying to find the 'perfect' place. It won't happen.

I wish you all the luck!!
