So stupid. That never works. The poor people who work in this field are swamped with people who want to get clean. They don’t need their precious time wasted w people who don’t want, never wanted to get clean. Addicts have to be WILLING to do the work. Sadly they need a bottom.
At any given time very few want to stop. Maybe later when life gets bad, (“bottom”) they are. That’s not unusual. I stick by my observations. Addicts need to be very willing to stop, their own misery makes them, not any policy,program,person,$. Once willing, anything works.

When I speak at a rehab I ask “How many of you have been to a rehab before?” Most of the hands go up. Then I ask, “lower your hand down if you really, honestly took all the suggestions you were given.” Few if any hands go down. As the saying goes, “Willingness is key”.

"almost anything works" - still can't rationalize spending a billion dollars a year in SF alone for Mental Health SF. We have other choices.

I didn’t say everything works equally well. And most of the money goes to detoxes, housing and the medical care people have neglected. It’s not all recovery. You have to have the willingness of Sir Edmund Hillary to get clean just by reading a book from your local library.
