Hello Thomas,
It is wonderful that you welcome help by going to rehab. There are several right in your area and they even offer free initial consultations. That's a great way to prepare for your next birthday coming right up on February 22.

Remember when you posted "Drugs may be the road go nowhere, but at least it's the scenic route"? Do you feel differently now? Not so scenic anymore, eh? It gets ugly, real fast. Best get off that road to nowhere and get going somewhere better. You seem to be really well liked with alot of fans. And I'm one of them. Come on over and join the sober life. Jump in, the water's fine!

Narcotics Anonymous has 5 locations in the Westchester, PA area as well. Going to some meetings and getting a sponsor is the way its done for real. Probably a wealth of experience just waiting to be shared there. And they will share the hope, too.

These are quoted from DarukuAngeru profile info. They are beautiful description of what benefits are both Narcotics Anonymous meetings and Residential Treatment (inhouse rehab). Just perfect descriptions of what one can expect and achieve!

Narcotics Anonymous (NA)
I LOVE this and still go once in a while even after 11 years of sobriety because addiction is an every day battle. This helped me immensely because it offers you an non judgmental support system of people who know exactly what you are going through, whether it's your first day clean or you are like me and have been clean for a long time. They have so much love and support to offer.

Residential Treatment Center
I went to residential rehabilitation. It was helpful in a lot of ways, but can also feel lonely and prison like. I will say though - it was the best way for me to stay away from crack long enough to truly appreciate and grab hold of my longing to be sober and happy. Being able to say that I was clean for 30 days when I got out was very motivating in continuing my recovery and slowly incorporating it into my every day life. Though it was not pleasant, this was VERY important and helpful.
