Hi frens, I was wondering if anyone had experience with rehab and if you can share some insight on it. We have a family member who is a chronic, nasty alcoholic and everyone in his life just accepts it. Like "oh he's drunk he didn't mean it" or they just ignore him when he's like that. He is constantly getting himself into situations where he is on deaths door and he always pulls through somehow. Eventually, he won't make it. He's gone through phases of sobriety and has a distorted "Christianity" because AA requires you to ask a "higher power" to help in their 12 steps.

But rehab. Thoughts?

I knew one person who went in and out of rehab multiple times. For her it didn't work, she never addressed the underlying issues so she kept going back.

I know one other person who used amanita moscara and meditation in order to rewire herself a bit. It worked amazingly well, she can drink alcohol normally with a meal without her brain screaming at her to keep drinking and typically she doesn't drink at all for months.

I suspect she's an unusual case though, I wouldn't recommend it for everyone although I gather it is a recognised therapeutic practice. If it helps I have a book she gave me about it.
