I’d been through a couple of detox facilities and one “dual-diagnosis” unit — where they treat the addiction stuff and “adjust yer meds” at the same time. In that one, I came out hooked on more shit than when I went in.

In rehab, they told us, only two out of ten of us would still be clean & sober at the end of one year. Several of us were likely to be dead. Some wouldn’t last twenty-four hours outside of the walls before we’d be drunk or high. Some of us would be back again, and a lucky one or two would find the strength to surrender.
