My experience in Rehab!/ Alcoholism and Addiction

Rehab is a scary word to an addict or alcoholic! It means we are about to transform everything we are used to! But it doesn't mean the end, it means a new beginning! This is my rehab story!

NOTE; MY BAC WAS .234 NOT 2.34!

My intensive 3 month stay at Castle Craig rehab Scotland was a precious gift from God. I committed to giving it 100% It saved my life. Drunk going in. Found out friend had taken life day 1. I was grateful to be there when heard news. Didn't listen to the moaners/gossipers/whiners. Not everything will be to your liking. Embrace that - you need different. The same kept you where you were. Listened. Went out comfort zones. Grew. Gave thanks daily. Challenged my self-pity. Five and a half months sober. Its impossible to relapse by accident after rehab. Think about that. Good luck - give it your all!💯💪

My son is in rehab now. I was so curious about what he's going through. Thank you so much for this wonderful video.

Last February, I went to rehab for 2 days at Cedar House in Bloomington, CA. It was big, and for someone who has bad social anxiety, I chicken out and left. Tried outpatient, but still couldn't get sober. After a few months, my case manager and peer support suggested giving rehab a try. I'm 28 and still live with my parents. My mom is also an alcoholic and my Dad is an abusive piece of work. I'm ready to grow up, and I want out of this house. I'm semi looking forward to going to rehab again this month, and part of it is I found a small one that takes 6 women at max so perfect for someone who's socially anxious like me. I'm not going to lie, though. I'm still scared, and I'm not entirely happy about leaving alcohol behind, but I'm tired of that abusive relationship I have with alcohol. I just want to be happy and independent, and I know I can't have that if I don't get sober.

Sorry for my essay. I appreciate you sharing your experience it helps me feel less nervous about this whole decision.

New sub today, March 12, 2023! My son is in rehab as we speak and has completed his first week. I have talked to him several times and he sounds quite wonderful. When he gets out, I’ll be sure he knows about your channel. Thanks!

I enjoyed rehab with the employees and patients. Learned to be kind to myself. ❤❤❤

Am going in to rehab on Monday for 5 weeks. Drink, depression and anxiety. Enjoying my last drinks and terrified I might not be able to enjoy another one

[newguy]

Thank you for this. I am going to contact my work to let them know. It pains me to write that as well. Because I know I need to do this. Writing it out makes it very real, not just an idea.

Thank you. My concern is being bored, facing the gnawing over stimulation of my brain, and the parts of my life I've been numbing. But hearing you talk about your meditation made me feel much better and confident.

The food is superb. Massage and spa treatments every day I bet

You misspoke when you said your BAC was 2.34 and not .234 isn't possible. You would be dead before getting remotely close to that level. Not meant to bust your chops but merely as a clarification. I do agree that after you stop it's imperative to find a way to fill the void that was created when you quit. I'm 74 years old and stopped drinking eight years ago. This was after drinking for fifty years with the last thirty-five of those years drinking excessively every day
I've used AA more as a conduit to sobriety rather than a means to an end. For example that alcoholism is a discease and not an addiction
This is merely a no fault excuse for bad choices. Besides I don't know of any discease that can be overcome by soley using your force of will. I do believe that talking about a problem may not solve it but it makes it easier to cope with. Which AA allows you to do.

I never went to rehab, but I went to drug and alcohol counseling and I was homeless, is that the same thing

[joantrendafilov]

for me the hardest thing is the insomnia. I didn't go to rehab and i never drank alcohol from the morning or afternoon, just at night. It's been around 10 days, and my sleep is non-existent, waking up every hour and then unable to fall back asleep. Going to work feeling like a ghost, going to uni with brain fog and a headache. No matter how tired i am, i still can't get a restfull sleep, and nothing i tried is helping. I guess it takes longer time to pass to normalize.

"Drunker than poopies"... lol! I assume that's a defcon level of drunk.

My impression of rehab is it borders on being a cult.

[Americanpatriot-zotk]

Yeah I just got out of that nonsense the detox part was fine some of the meetings were OK but it just kept going over the same stuff I heard anything about the 12 steps again I’m gonna peek and most people were not serious about their recovery thanks to the good Lord I’m here to get the mess cleaned up and I’m grateful for thatAA is not very good they never even go over the most important question with people was never asked why are you doing this? Isn’t that the key? Why is a person drinking why are they drugging this bull crap that is a disease makes me wanna puke. I was drinking too much alcohol I did no disease I did it about the alcohol I drank the alcohol it was my poor choices on my fault rehab I’m sure it has its place but generally speaking I give rehab about a D+.

[michelecrouse]

interesting rehab never told me a thing ....atleast the patient knows whats going experience was i had no idea what the process in tail and my role?
i dried my husband out before he when it was horrible one wrecked room 2 days of Demonic screams.... when we got to rehab they told me i saved them that process.... my husband started to only eat once a day....he was drinking more i did not know how bad it was. only on spring cleaning the house 3 times vodka beer cans all over the got out of control he could not systain it. Professional drunk he just needed me out of his way picking fights with me...

[thrissreila]

- 5 days and counting until 1st time. Terrified. Absolutely sure I am not going to enjoy some of the things you describe... Gotta get it done though. Thanks for sharing and thanks for this video.

What about detox, did you have withdrawal?
