I went to one in Berkeley and they had the same set up. The concept being you interact with others and learn from one another. The one I went to preached no God BS but we stretched, meditated, and shared our storys routinely. It was actually super rad, and if I hadn't done it for strictly my parents it would have helped me a lot more. Had a year and a half clean but didn't take their advice about meetings or SLE's and woke up one morning strung the fuck out and that led to a year bender. Finally made the move for myself, broke as fuck, so put together a decent detox kit of bars, clonidine, Gaba, buds, and Ambien and now have 22 days clean and sober. Being forced into it is bullshit cause if it's not something you want to do your going to relapse eventually. Even tried this rad outpatient program prior with a ex junkie and we connected on many levels and threw up a year plus sober, but that too was for my family. So relapsed hard and sent myself into that inpatient program to give my folks some relief.

If you find the right program for you a mind shift is inevitable but way easier said than done. Just do yourself a favor and give the program a chance and link up with other people there, most are in the same situation from parents, work, or court, but doesn't mean it has to be a waste. The info I learned there I still connect with today but the only difference is with almost a month clean I feel so much more focused and prepared for life than I was prior.

There is a reason for everything, if there is a higher power he created the universe and the laws of nature which we encountered daily. You just need to find ethics that support a life which will better yourself and then the people you find goin down the same path you did and lend a helping hand.

Stay focused and give it a shot. If you want to use as much as you want to be sober, you got a chance!!
