True Life: I'M GOING TO REHAB
by  thinkMTV

Adam is a college student hooked on prescription pills. Desperate and in fear for his survival, he's checking in to rehab hoping to get clean.

Dustin is a long-time crystal meth user who is plagued by his addiction and a toxic relationship. Now, he's trying a cutting edge IV therapy that he feels may be his only hope.

Adam and Dustin's addictions have forced them to forge the long road to recovery. If you relate to Adam and Dustin's trials with addiction and rehabilitation, check out these resources:

Ya know how we addicts say we can give it up anytime we want? SO NOT TRUE! ok, no matter what the choice of drug it is, say... crack, heroin, meth, or booze, MJ or RX pills (or even Food!) it's got control over US and it leaves us powerless unless we make ourselves get the help we need TODAY..NOT TOMORROW,, because tomorrow never comes, ( think about that one ) any choice of drug habit we are stuck on, will run us around in circles looking for means to get our next fix, it's a VICIOUS CYCLE until we've lost PROPERTIES, FRIENDS, FAMILY and worse yet, OUR SELF ESTEEM, SELF RESPECT,OUR HEALTH, FREEDOM UNLESS...we wind up dead first. OK...there you have used all that was in your goody bag and youre GEEKING...no more fix to be had...THEN WHAT? after you depleted all crumbs and rez..you realize you've missed an appt. or you're trying to think what you're gonna say to your other half or family, as to where the money went ( instead of the movie rental, and popcorn you went to get, gas and cigs, whatever the excuse...the drug dragged you down and left you STUCK in more ways than one,,,once you
realize this you get to thinking: " IT'S NOT WORTH IT!! " We have all been there,done that, bought the T-shirt, wore it and took it back so to speak......Hello, My name is Mona Cherie and these are my feelings.
