There is a difference is not wanting to be there and in the back of your mind knowing you need to be there. I didn't want to be in treatment but knew I needed it. Treatment won't work unless there is that little bit of surrender.
i hear you. i had a few who did that in my last rehab. we all called them out but that was probably an anomaly
Place I worked at was in a very high heroin area. Sometimes the makeup of people there would be 10 heroin addicts under the age of 23, and then 2 60 year old alcoholics. Place would be a shitshow.
i want to be in treatment so bad. i tried to put myself in a state facility. no one wants that. but the psychiatrist at the hospital recommended outpatient. i am doing that and first day was great
addicted people bread tuberculosis , any thing that requires a doctor prescription . addicted people don't follow doctors orders nor the medical instructions . they are a slave to the drug or alcohol or ciggaretts . they are fucked up and can not follow instructions at all . nor do they care to . the best rehab is court ordered rehab were they are forced to follow until they kick the habit and even then first day out 95% use .
yeah it was all heroin addicts who fucked the system. but an addict is an addict. i don't consider myself any more or less than a heroin or meth addict
the man don't be so quick to deal in death and judgment for even the wisest of us cannot see all means
what are you a cop ? I was 16 the first time I was sent to rehab .. I am 64 and know more about addiction than you know in your little finger . now you willing to listen ? I was smoking pot at 8 , smoking ciggs at 10 . did countless 8 balls at 13 . used opium from nam at 12 . hooked on cocaine so bad I lost my teeth motherfucker . made a mill and used a mill . court ordered when I was 25 . I got lifetime tracts in my trucker.
go the fuck away. this is a thread for people suffering from addiction. we don't need your fucking shit here
fattus just ignore him, i am impressed with your resiliency. I have my own issue and it gets better then worse...then better. I am not out of the woods and it's not like I drink all the time but I tend to go completely off. Can't stop until I get completely blacked out sometimes. Don't even know why I do it. I am glad you gave some news, keep it up man.
i mean really. has gubbs ever provided anything of substance to this sit besides being a fucking dick?
i hear you man. that's the point i am at now. i used to drink blackout daily. i am down to nothing for weeks then a whole week straight.
But i will ask you a question, you don't have to answer but I am curious. How the hell can you drink a whole week straight to the point of getting blacked out? I would try and could not do it, at some point I just stop...and that's after one day. I can't get completely out two days in a row.
not sure why i feel bad about it. he brought it on himself probably since he has so many mental issues. i empathize
My issue and it's a big one, I go off pretty much once a week and drink like a fish. And I never do that in any social event, I'm always decent socially. I just can't get how I get fucked up like that alone and why once a week or maybe 3 times a month I become this alcoholic who wants to drink scotch like it's water. And I never really realized it was an issue before I got a gf...she is tired of this shit.
He is a dick. He is a racist. He attempted to use this thread against me when I was questioning if I was an alcoholic. Fuck him he is the worst a want to be know it all who doesn't know jack shit.
my friend....my ex tried to fix me for so long. she finally closed the door. and rightfully so. i hope i can repair that someday. i really do. my advice is talk to a social worker. they are the greatest people on the planet. you may or may not have a problem. the only one who can determine that is you. but if you're wondering.....talk to a social worker
