I am sure your anger,saddness and bitterness stems around your addition. Your doing the right thing by going into rehab. What you have to do know is focus on your addiction. Listen to what people have to say.Try it their way awhile. I bet alot of that saddness and anger will slowly fade away bringing alot of good emotions behind it.God Bless you on your journey to recovery.

Life is meant to be enjoyed and celebrated. And honestly, to be in your late 20's and be bitter is kind of sad. We all go through our shares of ups and downs; highs and lows. And some of us have more downs and lows than others, but it's not how many downs or lows you have in life. It's how you rebound from them.
I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Learn to learn from bad situations. Don't let them become you. Your twenties are the prime of your life. This is the point where you are suppose to be taking life by the horns and riding it. And who says you need money to have a good time?
Some of the best moments happen when you least expect them. You have friends and family. Use them. Let them entertain you when you're low on cash and then return the favor when you can. The people we will love want to help us, but only if we let them. Finish rehab and take what lessons and skills it has offered you and run with them.

You could take the not so easy way out ant try suiside, but I don't like that because I am a chicken. I could try to get some help, and it really doesn't make much difference from where, because anyplace can get you more help. I am not sure that you could stand the excitement and fun that could end up from a little help. You say that you haven't had much fun...........I could probably have you talk to about 200+ friends of mine that can beat any story you could come up with, and there is no way that any of them are ready to check out.
I am 62, I just lost my wife to cancer about 1 1/2 years ago. Let me tell you after 44 years, that is sad. Let me also tell you, my two daughters and seven grandkids make life so worth living, you can't even begin to understand. The main thing that I can say is, "Stick around for a while, if you don't like it, I will give you double your money back".

You're not, nor will be, the only person in this boat. Rehab is a wholly complex and confusing time. Please try to give it a chance. I hope you've got a knowledgeable and compassionate therapist working with you.
As for money to date, there are a ton of things you and a friend can enjoy which could aid in your rehab - sports, hiking together, going to museums, reading, listening to music - all of these things don't have to cost. Make fun out of going Dutch or brown-bagging it.
Be what you are and not what you think others want to see.

You don't need money to have a good time. My husband and I live on a budget. We have learned to have fun by taking a hike, going for walks, bike rides, etc. which is calming to your nerves. Your mental attitude will be the captain of your destiny. Think about grouchy people around you. Are they inviting? Do you want to approach them? Do they make you feel irritated? How do you think people feel when they are around you? Does the way you behave impact that? Stay strong on overcoming the addiction. Embrace the support that is offered to you. Be patient starting over. You may have to work hard to earn some trust and gain some opportunities. But remember, you control what happens to you. Nobody else.

You need to stop focusing your attention to all the bad in your life as well as your past life. It's unfortunate you don't have money to go out but try to think about what you do have, and can be happy for, in the meantime focus on relieving yourself from any unnecessary burden such as addiction. I suggest scrap the habit, and focus on making money and improving your quality of life.

I can relate to this except for the rehab part. I can't honestly answer this but maybe we should get together and think of something positive to do that is G-rated.

The very best advise that anyone could give you is ask Jesus to help you and he will only if you have faith in him. Trust him and ask him for forgiveness. Then by doing those things, all things are possible.
