Alcohol rehab only works when it sucks the guts out of you. Or at least that’s how it was for me. The three months I spent in an alcohol treatment center were probably the hardest three months of my life: ninety days of therapy and introspection and the grueling remorseless Grind. But that’s how it had to be, really. And nothing could have ever been more worth it.

Alcohol treatment that works is alcohol treatments that helps alcoholics become new people. That’s the nut of it, I guess. The thing about alcoholism is that it becomes your identity…and the only way to get sober for good is to remake yourself from the ground up. The alcohol treatment experience isn’t and can’t be easy, for the simple reason that wholesale personal transformations never come cheap. If you’re going to get better, you’re going to have to work for it.

But, again: No effort will ever be more worth it. Alcohol rehab will change your life. It sure changed mine. Please, for your own sake, don’t just take my word for it. Make today the day you find out for yourself.
