Product Description
I wrote this book for me, the way it happened, and so maybe it’s also for you. I learned that rehab is not just about helping people. The help is there, if you need it—but you have to be able to pay for it. If you can’t, and you really need help, then you are in a world of trouble. If you can pay, then maybe there will always be a reason to get you in. In my case, I had to go—or end my career. I was lucky because I could pay, so I can continue the work I have chosen and love. I met some good people and fine counselors, and learned some useful things. But it wasn’t all benevolent—much was dogmatic, and sometimes malicious. At times, the rehab providers wielded their clout in a nasty way. I resisted, then submitted, and then complied, learning what I could along the way. And I wrote it down. This is the story.
