1Realize and admit to yourself that there is a problem. A problem meaning that you cannot control your life anymore.
2Confide in someone we trust, someone who can be honest with us. Mostly this person should not co-sign our crap,or enable us in ANY way. We are seeking help, not sympathy!
3Look for a 12 step program. There are a few to choose from. AA: ALCOHOLICS Anonymous, NA: NARCOTICS Anonymous, and lastly, CA: COCAINE Anonymous. Upon finding a meeting in your area if you don't feel strong enough on your own, find someone you trust to go along.
4After the meeting ends, stick around to meet and talk with some men, and women who have been exactly where you are at this moment. Ask about treatment programs in your area and take notes.
5Call the programs that were referred to you and talk with the intake counselor on staff. Sometimes you will be invited to the facility to view everything in action and get a feel for the environment.
6Choose an impatient facility that lasts 28 days or more that offers intense treatment of drugs, and alcohol. When you have chosen your rehab, get your priorities taken care of because you will need to leave the outside world alone and strictly worry about yourself only during this crucial period of detox and rehabilitation. Change only comes when we're uncomfortable with our life. That's when we decide we want something different, something better.
