I had always heard that some people had to hit rock-bottom before they would seek help for alcohol addiction, but I never believed it applied to me. Although I was aware that I had a problem, I also thought that I could stop drinking any time I wanted to. This turned out not to be the case, though. I was let go from my job for a variety of reasons, but those reasons all had to do with my alcohol consumption. Absenteeism, lateness and a general inability to be efficient at work due to being constantly hungover were all listed as reasons for my dismissal. After I was fired, I toyed with the idea of entering rehab and even looked up information online concerning different facilities. Although I was impressed by the Ocean Hills Rehab Reviews that I read, I told myself that I could stop drinking without their help.
It didn’t happen that way, though. Every night, I told myself that I would give up alcohol on the very next day, but I couldn’t do it. Finally, on the advice of my older brother, I decided to give Ocean Hills Recovery a try. I was scared to death when I first entered, but the staff seemed warm and kind and quickly put me at ease.
I think that what made it easier for me was knowing that I wasn’t alone. It really helped to know that other people had conquered the disease of alcoholism, and it helped to be among those who were in the process of doing so themselves. I’ve been out of rehab for four months now, and I still have daily contact with people that I met in Ocean Hills Recovery. We help to keep each other sober by providing moral support for each other.
