Correct me if I am wrong Holly, but you pretty much straightened out yourself without a bunch of people confronting you with how you have made THEIR lives miserable, right? Forcing people into rehab is an easy way to ensure they will con their way thru, and go right back to whatever it is they love first chance they get.




Yes I checked myself in, I was not forced in. Though those close to me certainly thought I needed to go, they knew I wouldn't listen to anyone until I was ready. The problem with sobriety is that it's for people who WANT it, not necessarily for people who NEED it. I needed it years ago, but I had to hit my bottom for me to finally want it bad enough to really go through with it.

And as Renfield mentioned, it is hard to do it alone. Some can-- I had a friend who did-- but I could not. I did need a lot of support from friends and family, and I got more than I could have asked for. (If anyone remembers, XPT was actually surprisingly supportive!) The best thing I got from sobriety was some new, incredible friends who have really carried me through this last year. I have an amazing support group of people in my life now, and I am so grateful for that.
