Well, I checked myself into rehab today. I start Thursday night in an outpatient evening program. They wanted me to do the day program, or start tomorrow night. But I can't or won't quit school so close to graduation for the day program. And I gotta run it by my probation officer on Thursday before I can just start the evening program since it violates my curfew. But I'm sure she won't have any problems with it.

I am an addict but don't really think I need help quitting anything since I quit everything but cigarettes cold turkey about 2 weeks ago. But who am I to judge? What I do need is guidance to stay clean and find out what to do next. In addition I am hoping rehab will keep me out of prison. If the judge orders me to join the inpatient program, I have no choice but to put school on hold.

So I hope this is the point at which I can turn my life around and hopefully actually do something with it.

Good for you

Good luck to ya bro.

At least ya went the next step to help yourself out.

G'Luck! & Godspeed!Cy

i'm glad to hear it...

while cleaning up by one's self is definitely possible, it often requires you to...change your mental habits, your connections.

i personally had to move and form all new attachments. new friends, new associations...i surrounded myself with healthy people with healthy habits and outlooks.

it's easier staying clean if you stay sober, as well.

i hope you find the route for you.

be well.

surely the judge will make an exception since you are clearly making an effort to correct some of your ways!!!

I've been clean for awhile myself and i must say it feels great and i too am going to school....i am studying Nursing....i graduate in DECEMBER!!!

Good luck to you my friend.....it can be done!!! If you ever need to talk just hollar!!!!!

It's never too late, one of my uncles finally got his life together after 55 years, he's in some kind of rehab program in PA, been doing it for over a year, the longest time he has ever been stable, with a good stable job, home, etc. You can do it, if you want to, but you have to want to. Good luck with, and don't get discourage if you relapse, just keep going. They say take it one day at a time, but sometimes you gotta take it one second, one minute, one hour at a time.

hey that's good for you EZ4Sheezy. that's something you brought it up because l'm suppose to have a girlfriend! that went into rehab she has not contacted me for 6 week's now and i'm hurt over this she said she would stay in touch can someone contact there lover from rehab even a email and how long should i wait for her to get clean?

romee.....once an addict always an addict.....they will always be recovering .....its a lifelong thing!!! And after so long she should be able to make contact thru mail!

Hey mate.............i wish you the best of luck,


and that's just being real with you...

Congrats to you as well. Funny how for such a long period of time a buzz can feel so great, then after a couple weeks clean they can realize how good they can feel without a buzz. Then all the sudden motivation starts coming back. They start caring about their looks and health. Start getting compliments on looks and health. Finding different and better people to relate to. All kinds of good stuff.

Good Job! Set your mind on the direction you want your life to go and work hard at it!

It depends on what kind of rehab it is, sometimes no outside communication is allowed.

hey thank you crazysillygirl that helped me alot so i will just stay faithful and wait for her contact

Well in a totally non-gay way you're a good looking guy. And too much so for me to assume you were in any way pertinent to her getting high. So I figure once she gets out of her treatment, she has no reason to not get back in touch with you.

These programs usually don't allow contact with anyone on the outside, not even family if it's not an emergency. So hopefully she'll soon be allowed and wanting to contact you ASAP. I wish you the best.

Romee they dont always allow any outside contacts besides immediate family. Sometimes not even family if there is abuse taking place there also. The problem is they cant always discern who is clean and sober in the person's life so they might just say no outside contacts for a period of time.

And good luck to you EZ.

Good for you EZ -- I'm 17 yrs sober and my life is so much better. Just listen to what they have to say. Open mindedness, willingness, and honesty are the keys to freedom from addiction (both drugs and alcohol). Best of luck to you guy a day at a time.
