I just found out that my best friend in the entire world is going to rehab. She didn't even tell me. My ex boyfriend told me. I haven't cried this hard in so long. I don't know why she's going.

It's good that your friend is getting help. Starfish is right - she won't be allowed any contact with friends, etc to start with.

Perhaps this is a time that you could use to deal with some addictions so that you are better able to support her and be with her when she is in recovery?
