Drug Treatment Difficulties Anyone?
Question by Follow-the-narrow-gate: Drug treatment difficulties anyone?
[rewrite]So… I have started my second round of IOP (intensive outpatient) and I always find treatment difficult. The fact of sitting in a room full of alcoholics and addicts… who are talking about drugs (whether it is good or bad) makes me want to use even more. I am always trying to recover, but talking about drugs always makes me want to use.
Anyone else have these difficulties in treatment or in general ?
NOTE: Please do not put rude comments, because my recovery is a serious thing and you do not know me or anything about my recovery.
