Just got out of detox..... again


I just got out of detox/psych/rehab for the 4th time this year. At one of these facilities, we watched snippets of this movie. I related to so much of this movie, however have yet to be rehabilitated. (I'm having a really rough patch in my life right now and my life will be very rough in the near future for a few months.) Anyway, I would love to see the movie in its entirety, but cannot find it to rent anywhere. Anyone have any ideas?

Amazon sell it fairly cheap.

My ex was sober for 4.5 years since he was 19. After he fell off last time, he was in and out of detox and rehab all summmer long. I don't know how many times he tried last summer. So I have some knowledge of this.

NO ONE is interested in romance/sex either in rehab or just out of it. Too busy trying to live!

You'll probably do better on ebay. Good luck - I have heard that it takes the average person 6 or 7 tries before they get it right. So it sounds like you're on the right track and I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

not true, there was this redhead i was in rehab with that i definitely wanted to fark. And I never heard of the "average" being 6 or 7 tries. That seems high to me. No one I went through with had been to rehab more than 3 times. I think most get it (or die) well before then, although I know there are some people who are a little slow and it takes them several tries to get it right.

I have one friend that's on his fifth or sixth try and he's the one that told me this. The ex has gone past seven, that's for sure. Lost his job in March and as of November, was drunk again.

Congratulations for getting sober yourself, however.
