	I went into rehab a broken frightened man after my last "lapse/relapse" and this was with around 10 years AA previous,and no alcohol.Trouble was I was a "dry drunk"and unable to understand what that was and as a result was unaware of my controlling abusive attitudes and behaviour which inevitably led me to my relapse which lasted for "only" one day,but that was the last straw.
	My beloved wife said enough was enough so into rehab I went fighting it all the way. At first I was bewildered and lost,but soon made welcome,I was "home" I did my lifestory after a week and whilst traumatic it helped reveal the harm my drinking had done,I read this out in front of about 12 of my peers and a huge relief to reveal I was a sick person trying to get well not a bad person trying to get good.I had started on my journey.
	There were tough assignments and times ahead during my 8 week stay,but slowly the layers of denial,chaos,unmanagebility and years of living a lie surfaced.Today I have peace in my life and work with drug and alcohol abusers whose lifes and families have been turned upside down from the effects of their substance abuse.
	It is rewarding to see people coming through the doors as I did and leave with peace on their faces,after some healing of lifes hurts and the tools to continue in their sobriety. Rehab does not offer magic solutions,but it does give one the ability to make informed choices as to what type of life we want to lead.
