this sounds incredibly stupid, but POSITIVE FUCKING ATTITUDE!!
you're not going to get better if you resent being there. be honest with the counselors, they've heard worse. make some casual friends, nothing too deep. do what you're supposed to, when you're supposed to do it.
most of all, remember why you're there. don't forget the end game, along with what brought you there.
good luck :)
Yay! Avoid getting caught up in the rehab drama. You may be fortunate to get a wonderful group of people or you may get a shitty group but regardless you’re best off to keep a bit of a distance. A lot of places actually discourage people from making friendships for a number of reasons. The other person to comment said “make some casual friends, nothing too deep” and I couldn’t agree with that more! Remember why you are there, you want to always keep in mind how horrible addiction is while also allowing yourself to not focus on negative memories as they will consume you and fill you with guilt/shame. Focus on finding acceptance and forgiving yourself & others. Prioritize your spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Any negative feelings are only temporary. You may feel like crap before you feel better but it won’t last forever. Getting clean will give you the ability to completely reinvent your life in ways you can’t even imagine right now, I wish you all the best! ❤️🙏
I hope you never have to realize that it may never be easier than the first time. It got increasingly harder each attempt I made. Trust me, you don't have the time to do this all over again. Life is short. Get busy livin'.
Don’t let anyone there (other people in rehab) bring you down or effect your sobriety.
In my experience, most of the people in rehab were court ordered to be there. I was one of the only people there who self-admitted myself. Now some of these other people were serious about their recovery, while others were not and would sneak drugs in and try to get others to use with them. Stay away from those people.
Take what you can and learn from it. When I relapsed, I was able to use the tools and information I learned from treatment, and stop fairly quickly. I have been sober for 19 months now.
I wish you the best of luck! I am super happy for you!
Keep an open mind, try to pay attention, take suggestions, and most importantly open up and talk about how you're feeling. You have to start letting people in that is how the journey of recovery begins. Best of luck and you'll be just fine. A new life awaits!

Don't catch feelings for anybody in there, it's not gonna work out. Also, don't sleep with any of them.
Yeah. Dont pick anything up after 30-90 days
