I have been in and out of treatment for 3 years and lately I have been struggling again for a few months. I am thinking I might need to go back to treatment again because my behaviors are getting really bad and out of control, but my mom really doesn't want me to go back to treatment. She thinks that treatment for me is jut like giving up on my recovery and taking the easy way and that I should be able to recover at home but my home environment is not very conducive to my recovery and I don't know what option would be best for me.
I think you are so brave to go back to treatment if you feel that will help. Your mom doesn't sound like she fully understands that treatment is for support and help. Whatever you decide I support you. Do you have a therapist or counselor to talk to? I'm here if you ever want to chat. You are very brave. Even though the behavior is a struggle you can do it. Send positive thoughts your way.
