Recovery

Hi everyone! Hope your all well. Does anyone know of good rehab centres, outside of qld and not too expensive?? Still waking three to four times a night eating...tried melotonin tonight but same as all the ap's and ad's ive been on over the last 20 years...acquired type 2 diabetes recently and things are not looking too bright with liver disease also in the frame..shall not waste any more time with the experts up here in mth qld..as all they are concerned with is ego and anger...if I had a dollar for every time a doc said these ap's will work..well I would not be on welfare!! Anyway if anyone knows of somewhere please let me know..over fools and their riddles and agendas....time for them to bugger off now and let me recover!!! Peace.

Re: Recovery

To be honest @Hamburger I managed coming off drugs on my own. I'd heard about Odyssey House which had just opened, but somehow I did not feel I had the right to go there, and I kind of worked it out myself. I did need to talk about it at work to get a bit of leeway and time off ... and still properly took another 18 months to go fully clean ... Doing music helped me a lot... I am wondering of you are a more physical than arty type ... but throwing yourself into positive activities has multiple pay offs.

Re cheap Rehab ... dont know ... Christian and Buddhist (eg Vipassana) groups have various approaches and they are often the cheapest ... some other personal development workshops cost an arm & a leg.

Take care

I have thought of giving melatonin a try ??

Re: Recovery

Cool, im approaching 2 months clean and sober..on my own...as the experts up here like kicking me out onto the street without a refund as soon as I get a bit lippy..poor sod's!! My concern is with my sleep cycle and now type 2 diabetes...starting treatment for liver disease soon...just cant stop eating every night when I wake!! Like I said before been on every ap and ad there is..was on roofie too ..although they had best results we all know the dramas associated with benzo's.thanks for feedback!! Peace.
