Yea, it did, I got a lot of perspective and insight I needed. I also see how your dad feels about it, but I think its something to realize that many people relapse multiple times, which I kinda worry about myself and situations in my future. Hell right now Im a little scared of heading back to my apartment tonight and not stopping by the usual gas station mart to pick up a six pack. My first month or so will be a little rough and I realize this. I barely went through any withdrawal symptoms at all, in fact I felt perfectly fine at the treatment center because i was in a totally different environment with new people who are getting away from their addictions and thats makes me feel a little better. Important thing to remember its not the end of the world when relapsing, just another stepping stone to getting know yourself a little more.
I havent told my mom who is a recovering alcoholic that I was in a treatment center cause she has no idea I drink so much. But I plan to talk to her about it, and confront her if she has had any relapses because I suspect she has but she hides it so well from me and my brothers.
