Well when I left the Priory (partner worked in health insurance, didnt have the spare 20k for the treatment, which it would have been otherwise was very privileged and lucky), after 28 days in rehab they gave me a little bag with my marbles. There was 2. Had a little card saying if you think about using throw 1 marble away, if you use, throw away the other, now you have lost your marbles". Who is saying it takes 5 years? They say active addiction is living in the insanity because you do things that don't make sense to a rational mind.
Saying it takes 5 years is potentially damaging. Someone thinking about getting help might be put off by the fact it takes so long to feel sane. 5 years is just an arbitrary figure. I'm sure it probably is a thing some people might say in the type of black humour you have in recovery but as usual she just talks shit.
Urgh, recovery Jack is the worst. She's so smug with it.
Why say exactly a month ago she had got her 8 months chip. Now she has waited for her 9 month chip. Timeline up the wall as per fucking usual. Also, why would she have to wait a while for it, does she not go every week?? Also, my meetings only give out chips for shorter times up to 6 months, then 9, then 12. Her group could be different, just an observation.
Please Jack, bore off with the recovery shite. You might well be doing well in recovery this time and I hope its true but I don't see any evidence of her living the steps in anything else she does!
Oh god, is she going to sponsor someone else soon if she's through the steps?? Could you imagine, can't personally see her thinking enough about someone other than herself to do it!!
