People get so stuck on the luxuriousness of the rehab facilities that they are going to. I think this is absolutely hilarious considering these are the same people who have stayed multiple nights at crack houses and slept in their own puke after shooting up a huge line of coke in their
My father was an alocholic yet I never knew it. I was so used to his behavior that i could never realize that it was because of the alcohol that he was acting in such a ridiculous manner. He was yelling at people and would constantly pick fights that didn't need to be even brought up. It was not until he checked into rehab that I got to see what an amazing man my father truly was. He was

The terrible tumble, from productive loving person to one who cheats, manipulates, steals, lies and harms others through words and deeds. How do drugs do this? It happens over and over again. In a way, it doesn't matter. It only matters that it can be undone. But it's not a quick fix. Not a 28 day repair. For one thing, the drug residues have to be flushed from the body in order for the person to

Some rehabs work, some are a poor excuse. I have heard some people state that they were planning their next drug or alcohol use while they were in rehab. or that from rehab, they went out directly and got high. No one ever got through to them that they needed to participate for any rehab to work. But some rehabs still work better than others. Families can get an addicted member back, healthy and

The alcohol-drinking community feeds itself through its agreement. There's even a term, drinking buddies. Guys who agree that it's Ok to get blasted. There's a dozen humorous terms (or more) to describe the condition of being drunk. Drinking guys will cover for each other if one of them gets in trouble while drunk. My former brother in law called my former husband to get him to cover for him for

Any person that uses drugs will always stay with them in there fat cells. So even if a person gets sober they will still have cravings to do the drugs because it stays in there body. All twelve step programs do not treat this specific problem, because they do not have the technology to do so. People who are addicted to drugs need a program that can actually pull the drugs from within there body.

There are many different kinds of addictions out there. Such as drugs, alcohol, and even addictions to gambling or even compulsive shopping! And there is a way out!! Twelve-step programs are unfortunatly not a very good source to get off of drugs or anyother kind of addiction because on average they only have a 30 something pecent success rate. Addicts need a rehab that has a higher success

People who are abusing drugs or alcohol need to realize that you do not have very many choices left. Except that you will go to jail, die, or get sober; thats all there is to it no buts or whats about it!! Unfortuantly most twelve step programs do not have the technology to keep a person sober for the long run. People who are addicted need a program with a high success rate, life courses, and

I have been there done that, wrote the book and read back over it. I know what it takes to get away from addiction to any substance/drug. People need a rehab with a high success rate and life
