Being put into rehab at a young age (freshly 15 to be more specific) was the most bittersweet experience of my life. Before rehab, I had gotten into a plethora of self-destructive habits in the efforts of trying to make myself feel better all the time. I was painfully miserable but so is every addict before they get sober (or at least attempt it.). Hearing the disappointment in my mother’s voice and the sadness in my fathers eyes the moment they realized I was an addict is an gut-wrenching feeling that I wouldn’t ever wish on anyone. Putting me in rehab showed me that I don’t want to put myself in a position of low self worth or selfishness. I learned from that situation that I deserve better in life that what I had allowed.
