    Rehab really works!

    Hi all,

    I've not been here for awhile as I have been in rehab/sorting my life out..
    I just want to say that I went to rehab for 6 weeks with my son (it was a women's/children's rehab) and it was FANTASTIC!
    I learnt so many useful life skills and really had fun many times.. meeting the other women there was great too.. we all helped support each other..
    I just want to say that I now have not had a drink for over 4 months and feel no desire too.. we learnt skills relating to "dialective behaviour therapy" and they are skills to use in everyday life.. and I feel so much happier and confident as a result..
    I want to advise anyone that is having difficulty with their drinking to maybe look to rehab as a great way to change your life for the better - to stop repeating past mistakes over and over again.. but to look around for a rehab that will be suited to you and all your needs..
    I hope everyone is well, and i still thank this site for helping me through some really difficult times,
    Katie xxx

    Wow Katie - that's fantastic. I very much remember your struggle back then and I'm so happy to read that you've turned things around. A wonderful new life for you and your boy. Congratulations.

          Katie, I am so glad to see you post! I've been wondering about how you are doing. It's just terrific for both you and your son that you've done this.

          And it is so great that that Oz is advanced enough to recognise the needs of kids as part of rehab as well and that helps families to stay together instead of ripping them apart.

          Look forward to seeing more of you Katie!!

              Thanks guys!
              I was very apprehensive about going, but glad I did.. everything is really working out for me now..
              Miss Behaving - the place I went to is the only one in Oz that takes children, so i was very lucky to be able to take my son with me - the childcare facility they had there was excellent! We also did yoga twice a week, meditation and had walks to the beach every day.. it was a real "break" from life in which I could learn some fantastic new skills.. I hope everyone is doing well here,

                          Katie - awesome news on the rehab!

                          Id love to hear more about the types of therapy they used if you can share any of it. Im a frustrated would be counsellor and havent heard of "dialective behaviour therapy".
