SoโฆIโve been to the psychiatrist a few days ago and he suggested that I should go to rehab. Can you imagine? Me in rehab? I said no. Like, thank you but no thank you. He said he knows a couple of places he can recommend, and also that the standard period of stay is a year. But I canโt even project it in my own mind! Being away for a whole yearโฆand whoโs gonna tell my bf? Or my family and coworkers? Nonono. Iโm not ready for this kind of trauma. The doctor also said something so wild and unexpected that I started laughing with no control! Just like that. We were talking about the dangers of opiates addiction and he said: โhave you tried not to use heroin?โ. At first I was like, what? Is this man serious?
Then I laughed. I laughed because heroin is maybe the most addictive substance around, there are tons of programs and structures specifically designed for treating this problem and still, many people donโt make it through. So this man, with a certified degree, had the audacity to ask me if I have ever tried not to use heroin?! Wow! Never thought of that! Thanks! ๐
