Once again he has taken the easy way out - The month-long breeze of happy horseshit. He' s been doing these "rehab" stints for years. Does it make sense the 2008 edition will be any more effective?

What will be so "special" about this time. Just the perchance "click"? PHULEEZE!
Rehabs don't work - Counseling doesn't work. They NEVER EVER DO. EVER!
For hard drinkers who are not real alcoholics and for certain types of drug addicts they do have some successes but John is NEITHER. They don't work - not for alcoholics of John's type - of my type, - our type - real alcoholics. We are talking about people, with "certifications" who do not even KNOW what I am talking about - who must not admit that there is any such thing as a "real alcoholic" for fear of losing their jobs or having to deal the lie of their own drug and alcohol abuse.

They will take him in there over and over and over as long as the money doesn't dry out through his health insurance. They are killing him - slowly - on the installment plan. He is screwed. Its always the easy way out for him and that's all that this represents. Sorry.
He does not want to do the difficult thing - the thing that I did and have been bending over backwards to show him. He would rather glide in to a 29 day happy acre stay with people who know NOTHING about ALCOHOLISM. NO THING! If they did they would tell him and he would run out of there as fast as he runs away from what I tell him. They haven't a clue and think they do. They will kill him and I have seen it again and again and again and I could cry. I cannot be positive when my experience tells me he's all wrong and that Gosnold is all wrong for him. He won't listen. And he's worse off now than the day I met him. It is such a shame. I don't know if I can put any more deprogramming time into him.
A month of crap is a lot to unload and I may just have to let him die. If he won't listen - then there' nothing I can do. I fear I have failed him for the last time.

Not everyone CAN recover. He may one of those alcoholic who just does not have the capacity to be honest. If he does, then I haven seen it yet. It look very bad for him from my perspective. I am sorry. He will get out and drink again almost immediately and I will take one more run at him - but the second you or anyone picks him up and brushes him off - lets him keep his job - makes him a meal - drops off his laundry - gives him a ride - gets his rent paid - whatever! Then he will be fucked once more.
Peace,
