A Wall Around My City

I've always prided myself on being honest. But, one thing I am secretly proud of is how I selectivly divulge information. I'm certainly not an open book, but I always know just how much I want to let slip. I'm thankful for doing this, because no one attaches to me at therapy. Group therapy has been the most soul-wrenching and difficult thing to

Fuck those people. Rehab is a business, so I wouldn't put too much stock into their opinion. They're probably secretly glad you're a "failure" because they perversely hope that you'll be back. And that means money for them.

I mean I'm all for sobriety and whatnot, obvs. but I don't believe rehab gets people sober. It certainly doesn't keep them sober. Going to the hospital to dry out and clear your head is one thing, and a lot of people coming off of substances need medical attention because withdrawls or DTs can be deadly. But for rehab centers to try and convince people that spending a few weeks in a controlled environment which fosters a false sense of belonging will kick their drug habit is so irritating. Life still exists outside of rehab and once your 28 days are up, you have to go out there and fucking face it. And a month of simpering therapists is supposed to completely revolutionize your beliefs and body chemistry? Don't make me laugh.
