More. I usually play semantic games around the disease issue. I think it's better to treat it medically than as a moral failing which is what it once was. But I've also seen plenty of people who lean on the disease concept as an excuse for everything. I'm sorry. No. You don't have the disease of being an asshole. AA is a cult. It's a fucking nightmare. And almost all rehabs are 12 step based. How the fuck is this shit in a "medical facility"? When I get my shit back together I'm going back to writing about this horseshit. It fucking kills people to send them to a cult that can and will tell them to go back out and use if they aren't convinced they need help. The one line about people in recovery with no training being in charge really connected with me. If your kid might OD any day you deserve to know what to expect when you send them to 12 step rehab. I'm going to try to write that. I am fucking livid about this shit
