Unhappy I'm In Rehab...
yep that's right - 2sunny has been admitted since 1-17. doing better and working hard to be well and work the AA program.

i am at a great facility not too far from home... still homesick though.

any words of wisdom and encouragement are certainly necessary and welcome!

Rehab isn't a cure. When you get out, you will be given the tools you need to take a shot at straightening out your life. But it's not a given. You need to stay strong and avoid the temptation to slip back. It will always be something of a battle, but over time it will get easier.

You will be amazed how the quality of your life will increase now that you have admitted that you are powerless over alcohol.

Good for you for taking control!

I don't know a thing about rehab except that amy winehouse said no, no, no!

Actually, two of my friends have been to rehab as teens/young adults. One of them even met her future husband there, although they didn't get married until at least 10 years later and after living in different cities most of that time.

Good luck to you!

(I tried to inset a bunny, but it wouldn't click. You'll just have to imagine the bouncing bunny...or is that what put you in rehab??)

I'm glad you're getting help and are posting about it. My thoughts are with you and I have tons of faith you will get through this and come out even stronger! It takes alot of courage to admit there's a problem, let alone reach out and get help, do something about it.

AC comes to mind, but there are many here who can help you through this and give you pointers, so to speak.

You rock, dude! They say that the first, and most important, step to overcoming a problem is recognising that you have one. Good luck.

Wow, I had no idea. It takes courage to admit it to yourself that you have a problem and to do something about it. You are an inspiration to many.

Good luck and here's to a speedy recovery.

Hey Sunny, you're on my mind today and thought I'd say hello! So, hello and I hope you're doing okay.
