Congrats on deciding to go to rehab! I think you'll find the result you are looking for. Great job on having the willingness.

Hi Good Choice

I know what helped me when I came out of rehab was I used what I learn t . I stayed away from my old environments for a time and i went to AA meetings where I had a support network. i also went to some groups held at the rehab after care.

If you have unwanted baggage leave it in the rehab and utilize all that is available to you there. Counselors ,psychiatrists and groups.

I hope all goes well for you. Keep posting let us know how things are going .

God Bless...

Ok-then do it all the way europa. I went to rehab and it helped me tremendously-the counselors there were wonderful, and the program itself was very comprehensive. You must do follow up treatment afterward however. It is so very important to do this-or all your old habits will eventually come back. I had to change my entire lifestyle-and work very hard, after rehab, to get and stay well for good.

Great start though. xo

Rehab was where I started my sobriety Europa, and one that opened the door to help and support available. You may find attending AA after rehab will be a different experience for you. Go for it with an open mind and willing heart.

Good luck with that Euro. Make the most of this opportunity. Approach it with an open mind and do not discount any suggestions even if they don't make sense to you at the time.

I have no experience of Rehab but I believe that they will help you to come off the alcohol safely, and then start you off on what has to be done in order to remain sober. After you leave, it is then up to you to put their suggestions into practice. That is where AA can help you a lot.

When it comes down to it . You have choices . Personally Ihad to decide what I wanted more. To be sober and have a relationship with my God and other human beings ....or not. When we can get past the physical urge to drink we can make choices .That physical dependency makes it hard to think about anything else but another drink. When we can ask God for the strength not to pick up that first drink. Thats when you really want to surrender . The key to sobriety is the ability to surrender our own self will.and to trust that God wants us to be happy ,joyous and free from addiction'

I am happy for you. You've made a good choice. Put everything you've got into it and try to have an open mind.

Best of luck!...:) You can do it Europagrl! We're rooting for ya!
