Congrats on your 60 days, Steve -- that is an awesome feat. Now you get the next 30 in rehab, where you can learn much, if you stay focused and out of the day to day drama that generally comes with in-patient rehab.
I hope you work hard, dive into some preliminary Step work, and get what you need there, Steve.
I also hope you find a computer from time to time so you can update us on your progress. If not, we will all be waiting for you right here.
Peace and Love,
Scout

Hi Steve! My first time visiting your blog, but I'm glad it is to see that you are entering rehab. I wish you all the best. And congratulations on your first 60 days. I am amazed you did that without the rehab first. I couldn't do it, so give yourself credit.

I spent 6 weeks in rehab, and I will say it was time well spent. It was very difficult being away from my husband and son, but I needed the time to focus on me in a positive way for the first time in my life. You don't have to agree with everything they tell you, but you try to listen with an open mind.

Scout's advice about staying out of the day-to-day drama is very good too. Those of us there really aren't all that mentally stable, lol. People at rehab called me "quietly determined" but a lot of it was because I had to keep my mouth shut or I would've been in the thick of it with everyone else (dear, lord, in a house with 18 other addict women? my second worst nightmare next to being in a house with 18 versions of my mother!)

Best wishes, and I hope to see you back here soon.

When I went to Casa my ego was crushed. It needed to be. Be open to humility . . . it was something that struck me and really grounded me in the beginning days.

There will be drama as Scout mentions. It is what happens when you gather people like us together that are just starting this journey. Watch and observe, it is better to learn this way than to be in the middle of it.

Congrats to this step you are taking.

Ah bless. Thats cool. I hope rehab is 'goood'. whatever that means! We REALLY are just SICK people getting WELL, you know, NOT BAD people getting GOOD. I'm sure your disease will take a beating while you build up your recovery muscles in rehab! Good luck steve! (and nice to meet you by the way)
