>>14023089>CONTTry to get into a PHP program with housing, after the month of an inpatient residential program. Go to AA/NA and listen to people talk about what residential programs suck, and which don't. And by suck I mean what is the absolute criminals to people trying to get better ratio.
The key is to be in a place where heroin is simply not tolerated and you can start acting human again.
AA is a religion (not necessarily bad), some love it some are ambivalent, not many truly against it.
Nothing wrong with it, but the average AA lifer has the theological takes of a new age hippie mixed with childish pseudo-christian lay theologian (schizo) writings.
They will have meetings where they decide that they are going to spend the next hour demonstrating that God is literally the guy who makes you not drink, and makes sports teams win. And God is why the judge decided to not completely estrange you from your kids.
It can be funny to hear a Boomer struggle to read through the big words in a Bible passage then come up with a completely off base, makes 0 sense in relation to the text, take about how this is why he won golf yesterday.
Maybe it's my Catholic upbringing, but the "personal" god of some people is strange to me.
Mass is a serious affair, a priest can actually make it very moving, without relating the homily to something that happened to him himself this week.
AA has more of an evangelical (in the "born again" sense, they're generally tolerant people) vibe in that there is some barebones protestant tradition in the conception of the higher power, but the practitioners are literally just some dudes who didn't do heroin for 4 years. Now they think they're St. Augustine because they learned what "epistle" means.
It will annoy the shit out of you if you were raised in with an actual religion, or are a fedora tipping atheist.
Good luck brother, you said you've been to rehab 4 times. You know what you have to do. Btw you're doing fentanyl not heroin.
