Addiction Treatment Isn’t for Sissies
Addiction treatment isn’t for sissies. Addiction treatment isn’t for cowards, or wafflers, or anyone who doesn’t have the balls to stand and fight when the going gets tough. Addiction treatment is hard; that’s just the way. No addict gets sober without a struggle, without suffering a little along the way. If you think addiction treatment is going to be easy, you’re in for a very rude wake-up call. And if you really want to get healed, you don’t have any choice but to knuckle down.
For the record, I hated addiction treatment. Hated it. Every day, every hour, every minute: Hated it. Wished it was over. Wanted to go home and never come back. Would have rather been anywere…ANYWHERE…but an addiction treatment center.
But I stayed. And addiction treatment worked, for me. And it has made all the difference in the world.
So no, addiction treatment isn’t for sissies. Addiction treatment is hard. More importantly, though, addiction treatment is worth it: more worth it than you could ever imagine. Don’t let another day go by without finding that out for yourself.
