How Much Hell Did You Go Through Before You Quit Drugs or Alcohol Addiction?
Question by Evan’s mommy is Preston’s mom too now!: How much hell did you go through before you quit drugs or alcohol addiction?
My brother has drug addictions. The main one I know of is OxyContin and I suspect heroin is also an issue.
He went to the Holistic Drug Rehab (same one that “Intervention” uses) and was “fine” when he came home, it hasnt been 3 months and here is is again back at it. His wife has kicked him out and he is “homeless” aside from staying at users/dealers places. He has nothing anymore. He is 23 years old.
What I dont get is how a person can go through 120 days sober and all of the sudden be back into the drugs. How much will he lose before he quits? God only knows.
I am just scared he will die. I love him so much.
What can I do to help him?
Are There Alcoholic Anonymous Treatment Facilities That Will Let You Work to Pay for Your Treatment?
Question by Mizzy Hunt: Are there Alcoholic Anonymous treatment facilities that will let you work to pay for your treatment?
A friend of mine is an Alcoholic and has just about reached her rock bottom. The disease has cost her 3 jobs in the last 6 months. Her family is not interested in learning how to help her with her disease but they are falling apart dealing with her problems. I think she needs to find a facility away from her family so she can focus on her recovery, very similar to the show Intervention.
Are there Recovery facilities in the US that have programs where the person can work to pay for their stay and treatment? My friend has no money and will be homeless if her family didn’t intervene and help? Does anyone have advice?

I Don’t Know the Name of This Book? Can You Please Help Me?
Question by Mandy: I don’t know the name of this book? Can you please help me?
I’m not sure if many people have read this book or not, I read it awhile ago and it was in the “Young Adult” section.
From my recollection, it was about a stripper (I believe) who did drugs and she was writing a diary. In the end *spoiler* I know she dies and someone else finishes the diary for her. I also think there was a part in there where she went to rehab. One of the characters names was Amanda/Manda.
I know it isn’t “Cut”.
Anyone? Thank you.
