When someone has a drug problem.... How do they do it? That is, how do the quit using drugs and alcohol? The answer is, COMMITMENT. They have to WANT to quit using drug. Still, others say, nope.
“Quitting alcohol is so easy, it practically happens all by itself! You put them in the right environment, one geared toward RECOVERY... Put them in a COMMUNITY based around RECOVERY, pretty soon, before you know it, they start envisioning themselves sober. Pretty soon, they get excited about the new them... seeing themselves sparkling new and sober, pretty soon they start wanting it for themselves... all you got to do is put them in that alcohol free environment, and sobriety happens to them, like magic!” Said no one.
“Always remember, Innercept, and how it worked for Rachel... She was put in an environment, where the only option was drinking alone... they made sure she didn’t go out at night... after a couple bad experiences Rachel had running off and drinking alone by herself, she decided to quit drinking. When she returned back to Oregon, she made the careful decision to start drinking again, because that’s what people her age did socially, plus it is a social lubricant... nowadays, alcohol has no come down, she has (spirit) friends around while drinking... the only reason not to, after drinking for awhile, her eyes lack a twinkle.”
Why are we seeking continued treatment at all, actually? Sorry Beev, but I don’t have bipolar disorder... I don’t have mood swings. I don’t relate to bipolar stories, I do not have thinking problems.
I LIKE THE IDEAS IN MY HEAD EXACTLY THE WAY THEY ARE.
Medication doesn’t have any effect, Beev. I feel out of place around people with mental illness, like I can’t relate. They talk about problems I don’t have.
Still, I feel community is important, so I am willing to look into a place that offers community.
In short, residential treatment won’t accomplish anything, just a waste of time and money.
