Louis has always kept a place in his heart for that boy and for his funny dreamworld, and when he’s twenty-five and his life falls apart, it turns out Wonderland might not be so imaginary after all.

This is a tale of the choices that shape our lives. Some change our paths, but some change who we are at our core. Some we can't un-choose. Some, we can. This is also a tale of choosing love. A love that fights against odds and across time, transcending reality, a love that endures dragons and poison apples, heartbreak and curses, a love that reoccurs, in dream after dream.

You Know, This Used To Be Fun
Written for @corrodedcoffinfest
Day #13 - Prompt: Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll | Word Count: 1000 | Rating: M | CW: drug abuse, alcohol abuse, mention of rehab, mentioned overdose | POV: Eddie | Pairing: Steddie | Tags: Angst, hurt/no comfort (sorry!), a whistle stop tour of the Sunset Strip through the eyes of someone who has never been there, stream of consciousness, run on sentences, Eddie's head is a whirlwind.
I SWEAR I will write something fun for tomorrow, I promise you!
Title from Success Story by The Who
****
They make it to LA in Eddie’s piece of shit van and Jeff’s slightly less piece of shit station wagon, and it’s… well. It’s something.
They find a motel to hole up in before they plan their next move, because they have no idea what they’re doing, nothing is planned, they just said goodbye to everyone in Hawkins and ran, and now here they are.
They need gigs so they go hunting, and hair metal is still fucking hanging on by its polished finger nails, but it’s not just hair metal on The Strip, fuck Metallica played here. So they head there and. Jesus Christ.
Jeff gets a job at Tower Records, Gareth is waiting tables in some restaurant, and Matty works in a gas station. And Eddie, well he asked about bar work but the thing is… the thing is he’s not comfortable with people yet. He gets in his head now since Hawkins. But he finds a job as a janitor and it’s solitary enough to suit him.
It’s 1989 and they’re going to be rock stars
****
They get a gig at The Whisky. They’re the opening, opening, opening act, the doors have barely opened, it’s Thursday and Matt and Gareth had to call out sick (and they’re praying no one from their jobs like metal enough to come to The Whisky on a Thursday). It’s 7pm. and there’s barely anyone there, a couple of blonde girls and blond boys and a fuck-ton of Aqua-net; this isn’t them. This isn’t their scene. But the crowd comes later and now there’s Metallica and Judas Priest T-shirts wandering around and they slot into place.
When they play The Whisky again they’re the opening, opening act and it’s 8pm and people are coming to see them.
After the show they wander up to the Rainbow and they drink away the last of their money, and watch girls making out with guys whose faces they’ve seen in Metal Edge.
And they play their gigs and they work their jobs and it’s 1990 and one day that’s going to be them.
****
They travel up to San Francisco for some shows, getting on the bill with some other thrash bands. It blows their minds.
They get on a tour to the East Coast; they have to give up their jobs but that’s fine, because Jeff is a step away from becoming the manager and staying there, and Gareth hates his fucking job, and Matty got held up in a robbery a few months back and it scared the shit out of all of them, so fuck it. And it’s amazing, what he remembers of it, the shows are amazing, but the after was amazing too? He thinks? His memory is spotty.
And then, and then, well fuck if they haven’t been signed. Well fuck if they’re not in a studio recording an actual album, not like that shitty demo they did in Indy. Well fuck if it’s not being released.
The drugs in LA are better somehow. Like, Hawkins had baby drugs, like junior training wheels drugs, but the drugs in LA are for the grown ups. When they play shows now they’re the main attraction and now people are giving them booze and coke and pills, whatever they want, they don’t even to ask. Then they’re drinking in the Rainbow and girls are climbing on their laps, and he’s not uncomfortable but he’s not strictly comfortable either. But Jeff leaves, and Gareth walks away with some girl attached to him and Matty’s next to him with one on his lap and one nuzzled up beside him, and Eddie pushes his one off and says ‘rain check’ like he’s ever going to see her again.
The album is released and it sells, it’s in that Tower Records where Jeff nearly became a manager, and they go in there every day moving it to the front of the ‘C’s. And there’s less copies every day because people are buying it.
It’s 1991 and they’re about to be rock stars.
****
The album takes off and they get support slots on bigger tours, bands they know, whose albums are sitting in Eddie’s trailer back in Hawkins. They’re playing five thousand seat venues, and one day he sees a Corroded Coffin banner in the crowd, and fuck, it’s emotional you know? It’s what they always dreamed about.
There’s another album, and money, and then they have a headline tour across the states, Jesus Christ, and people buy them drinks, and they give them drugs, and even though they have money now they don’t have to pay for a goddamn thing.
There are girls, but Eddie finds guys on the road, guys at truck stops, and they’re famous but they’re not, you know? So it’s cool. It’s safe.
There’s a video and it’s on Headbangers Ball.
It’s 1992 and they’re rock stars.
****
Things get fuzzy after that.
There's another album. There’s festivals in Europe, and bigger tours, arenas, more guys but none of them are him, and then another album, and the drugs are good in LA, you know, but actually it’s the drink he prefers, who knew? But that’s good because Gareth and Matty prefer coke so more for them. Jeff dabbles for a while, but he gets married. She cleans him up. Eddie hates her.
There’s another album, another award, another tour, and they travel all over the world and Steve Harrington finally comes to LA, after years of Eddie asking, just as friends, you know? And Eddie drinks, because he can, and there’s another album but he doesn’t look for guys anymore because he belongs to Steve now, and there’s another tour, and Gareth ODs, but fucking shit he’s ok, and Matty cleans up, and Eddie drinks and he drinks and he drinks until Steve says “I love you but you need to stop”.
It’s 1998.
He’s thirty-two, he's an alcoholic and he’s about to go to rehab.
But hey, he’s a rock star, right?

⭒♢⭒ Well, hi there, ♢ TANA ALICE ELIZABETH BRODY ♢. They're a [28] year old cisfemale (she/her), and you might know them better as BEN BRODY'S younger sister. They're currently living in OCEAN COLONY and working at THE CRESCENT. They look a lot like ♢ KAT MCNAMARA ♢, but you'll know them best by their YouTube makeup tutorials, can't hear you over the guitar, you're too sweet for rock 'n roll vibe. ⭒♢⭒
+ sweet, grounded, artistic - shy, self-doubting, anxious
[ tw: drug use, addiction, overdose, needles ]
In a household of rich but absent parents, Tana Brody should have gone off the rails long before she did. Her parents stopped paying for nannies by the time she was twelve, but Tana didn’t mind it that much. It was her older brother, Ben, who drove her to swimming lessons, walked her through trigonometry (like he understood it any better), and listened to the petty dramas of teenage girls. If her parents ignored her, she just rolled her eyes and went out with her friends. Nothing very bad could happen as long as Ben was around. He trusted her to keep her feet on the ground and call if she needed a ride, and she trusted him to be there for her if she needed him. If Ben was constantly thrill-seeking to get their parents’ attention, then Tana was almost alarmingly earthbound.
She was privately devastated when Ben moved away to Stanford for college, taking her nephew and her sister-in-law with him, but they still played an active role in each other’s lives. She visited as often as she could and Skyped and sent Berkan increasingly ridiculous presents when she couldn’t. (If it were up to Tana, Berkan would be terribly, terribly spoiled. She teases that the moment he was born, Ben stopped being her favorite person.) High school was a fairly normal experience for her, and she stuck with her love of music, even joining a local garage band for several years.
Though she was uncertain about what she wanted to major in, college had never been optional in the Brody family, and she enrolled at the University of San Francisco to be closer to Ben after his knee injury. Instead, she met Jake Lassiter. She turned him down when he asked her out, but he was persistent, and she said yes the second time. The truth was, she turned him down because he intimidated her. He was handsome and cool, slightly older than her, and she quickly grew infatuated. He was her first serious boyfriend, and she fell fast and hard.
She didn’t think much of it when she learned he was dealing drugs. It wasn’t like she hadn’t seen dealers on street corners or people passing around joints at parties. It wasn’t like he pressured her to try anything, at least not overtly. It started with doing lines of cocaine at a party, then ecstasy at a warehouse rave, then a needle in her arm, and then… it didn’t matter what or where. The first time she overdosed, she spent three months in rehab, went back to Jake upon release, and was back to her old habits within weeks. The second time, her heart stopped for a minute and a half before medical personnel managed to revive her en route to the hospital.
Her parents and Ben stepped in, and she spent six months in an expensive, out of state rehab facility. When she returned to San Francisco, it was only to pack her things and move back home to Half Moon Bay. It was clear she needed a clean break from her college life. She didn’t contact Jake to let him know she was out and changed her number. If he tried to contact her, he didn’t try hard. It’s said that people stop emotionally maturing when they start doing drugs. For Tana, it was like two years of her life had been blacked out. Sentences cut right out of the middle of the page. It wasn’t that she didn’t remember them; it was just as though they happened to someone else, and the person who was left was a bit quieter, a bit shyer, a bit less likely to spend nights out partying than at home binging on Netflix.
She worked as a barista to keep herself busy and started doing makeup tutorials in her free time. Eventually, she decided to finish her degree online and got a Bachelor's in Theater Arts with a concentration in makeup, later landing a job at The Crescent. Her parents weren't enthusiastic about her career choices, any more than they had been about Ben's, but at that point they seemed satisfied that she'd finished school at all. Given her history, she knew to stay out of the music industry as a career, but her confidence gradually returned enough to start playing music again, and she still attends outpatient therapy and regular NA meetings. Her lease was almost up when her mother had a scheduled surgery ahead, so she's temporarily moved back into her childhood home, which is conveniently down the block from Ben, Lale, and Berkan.

The Big Fix: Hope After Heroin
The Big Fix: Hope After Heroin
After surviving nearly a decade of heroin abuse and hard living on the streets of San Francisco’s Tenderloin District, Tracey Helton Mitchell decided to get clean for good. With raw honesty and a poignant perspective on life that only comes from starting at rock bottom, The Big Fix tells her story of transformation from homeless heroin addict to stable mother of three—and the hard work and hard lessons that got her there. Rather than dwelling on the pain of addiction, Tracey focuses on her journey of recovery and rebuilding her life, while exposing the failings of the American rehab system and laying out a path for change.
Starting with the first step in her recovery, Tracey re-learns how to interact with men, build new friendships, handle money, and rekindle her relationship with her mother, all while staying sober, sharp, and dedicated to her future.
A decidedly female story of addiction, The Big Fix describes the unique challenges faced by women caught in the grip of substance abuse, such as the toxic connection between drug addition and prostitution.
Tracey’s story of hope, hard work, and rehabilitation will inspire anyone who has been affected by substance abuse while offering hope for a better future.

He worked with and produced for a wide variety of artists, including Bob Marley and the Wailers, Junior Murvin, Beastie Boys, Ari Up, The Clash, The Orb, and many others.

1964 - Roy Orbison

12/13/14. Sat. 9:12pm
As I was disembarking BART at Dublin--Pleasanton station at about 6:35pm, Greg Bently phoned. He ran into excused juror 12 at Taco Bell who said “Cops were lying. I wouldn’t want to be arrested in Modesto.”
Other jurors feel the same way.”
No wonder the nurse alternate juror told me that my shoe was untied.
She wants to unplug the Da and his lead investigator.!
_________________________
Margin note to above: also written on 12/13/2014
The TRIAL-LIGHT ZONE.
Invented it on the drive home tonight (from the Dublin Bart station.)
“That sign post up ahead. You’re now entering Department 26…the trial-lite zone. Normal rules and laws do not apply in the trial-lite zone.”
_________________________
Back to the 12/13/14 entry:
The day started with MAC showing up unannounced at the house at about 9am. He walked in with 40-50ish Lisa, a drug rehab program friend.
So, I turned her into a juror. After hearing the case facts, she said “Someone’s gonna pay.” But, I think she’d walk the the defendants who were in the green car.
Bart was fun. Lots of Santa’s and Santa-ettes.
One, as the BART doors closed,( he had just left the BART car with a boobs-alot elf lady,) yelled back into the train “faggot” and flipped the train doors off!
Christmas class act
Probably an Arian Brotherhood Christmas gang member.
I told a black guy passing by about it. He said there were lots of drunk Santas in San Francisco today.
I found a new book store on College Ave today in Berkeley/Oakland. A good one I think. But, the checkout clerk was really rude!
The Pegasus Book’s clerks were nice
One knew Tony Serra.
He represented a friend. He did a good job. Saved her from jail.
End of entry
The 5 things. 12/13/14. 9:29pm
—The drunken Santas on BART. Some of them were hot!
—“new” book store on College Ave
—Greg Bently’s call: Juror 12 said Detective Gum is a liar.
—Meeting MAC’s friend Lisa. Telling Jim’s story to her.
—Learning that Lisa’s son came out to her as gay 5 years ago
Notes:
This entry was written while I was representing Lizandro Mendoza in a gang murder trial in Modesto, California. The trial was held in department 26, Stanislaus County Superior court. It lasted from August 4, 2014 to January 28, 2015. Greg Bentley and Tony Serra were fellow defense attorneys on the case. They represented two of the 4 co defendants. Tony was rather famous. He has written books.
By December 13, 2014, a jury had been seated for the trial. Apparently. Juror 12 had been excused from the jury for some reason after having heard some law enforcement testimony. An attorney can talk with an excused juror while the trial is in progress.
MAC had been living with me off and on for 4 years as of 12/13/14.
I like to turn people I encounter into jurors when I’m in trial. I run the case facts by them and ask what issues they see. Sometimes, I use points they raise in the case and in closing argument. That’s what I was doing with Lisa in the entry. My client must have been in the green car.
I believe that I have been doing “The 5 Things” since I learned about it in Kaiser chemical dependency out patient treatment in 2011. A UC Davis professor said that if you write 5 things that you are grateful for during the day at night before you go to be, it will help you to be more grateful for things as the are happening. You can’t just say what you are greatful for. You have to write it, per the Davis professor.
Re: the boobs-alot Santa Elf with the rude Santa, Boobs-alot means that she had large breasts prominently displayed.

✨ main verse.
side blog for moonrevolutions!!!! wip... just... im working on it.
name: virote srisati. age: 29 ( birthday july 21st. ) zodiac: cancer sun, capricorn moon, cancer rising, virgo venus. religion: pantheist ( former buddhist. ) sexuality: homosexual. voice: ( CLICK. ) he has a thai accent. more soft spoken in tone than you’d anticipate, which makes his insults and foul mouthed language even more scathing. species: he’s basically half-alien??? ethnicity: thai-chinese height: 5'0". financial class: upper. so upper that it’s insane. place of birth: bangkok, thailand. current location: san francisco, california. but this is also verse dependent. languages: thai, mandarin, english, japanese, korean, portuguese, spanish ( very, very basic. )
occupation: art therapist. can be found in hospitals, schools, and rehab centers. or public events centered around mental health and art for groups like the lgbt. also works a couple nights a week at a dance studio called motionbox studios. and, last but not least, he’s got a side gig of being a life coach. only through phone consultation. he’s certified! political affiliation: progressive. was a social-anarchist back in the day.
education:
graduated high school, salutatorian, top of his class.
majored in studio art and art history.
has minors in: business - consumer behavior, peace and conflict studies, dance.
art therapy licensing.
4.8gpa, he’s smart and he’s ballin’.
abilities:
it’s your neighborhood cosmic deity / space oddity! moderately psychic with his clairvoyance, clairsentience + empath intuition. has mastered a handful of divination methods. crystal and mirror gazing are his favorites.
heightened spiritual senses. if there’s a ghost, he will see it. might even fight it, you don’t know his life!
aura reading.
folks on his father’s side are pretty famous in southeast asia for being incredible seers, exorcists, demon exterminators, and healers.
channels energy from all celestial bodies for spells. for example: black holes for curses, jupiter for luck, new moons for banishing, etc.
can tell the position of any planet / celestial body at any time. connected to the cosmos, itself.
may know some form of cosmic manipulation, but that’s something he likes to keep under wraps. invoking solar winds, meteor showers, transmutation of space, etc.
he’s a descendant of jan, a thai personification of the moon. mercury, as well since they basically started the beginning of the family tree on his mother’s side of the family. read more about that here. so while he’s human, he’s not… completely human. nonhuman/supernatural muses can probably sense something isn’t quite… completely human about him.

Mizzy is played as 21 by default but 29+ on request (this is suggested for partners who don’t like dark themes).
Name: Marc ‘Mizzy’ Levi Date of Birth: 14th April Gender: Male Orientation: Bisexual Species: Human FC: Timothée Chalamet
Biography
Rachel and Ariel decided not to have kids after the troubled birth of their first child, Eli. In the twelve years since, they forged successful careers in their own fields. Ariel wrote for Rolling Stone and Rachel represented Hollywood’s brightest stars.
But during a turbulent time, Rachel discovered that she had fallen pregnant. They seriously considered their options. While Rachel didn’t want to give up her job, Ariel agreed he could raise their new baby while working from home.
Much like Eli’s birth, Mizzy’s was troubled. While it worked out for the best, Rachel struggled to connect with Mizzy for the first few months. She would spend all her time at work and Ariel felt abandoned. It was only after one of their explosive arguments that Rachel finally agreed to go to therapy.
During the divorce, Ariel got sole custody of Mizzy without contest and moved to San Francisco.
After, a socialite Ariel had an affair with would come and go from their house whenever she was in town. She treated Mizzy like a doll, taking him to parties and buying him outfits that matched hers.
The second time she babysat Mizzy disaster struck. They found Mizzy unconscious on the kitchen floor after slipping over at one of her parties. She fled the scene, leaving her friends to take him to the hospital.
Ariel then started taking Mizzy with him everywhere he went. In the summers, he would send Marc to his mother's in LA. And everyone treated him like a tiny adult.
Things got worse when Ariel remarried. After a childhood of being treated like an adult, Katherine’s meddling was unwelcome. All it did was isolate him because he couldn't meet her expectations.
By twelve, Mizzy pretended he was fifteen to hang out with older kids. Things devolved from there. Alcohol turned to drugs. He hid it well from his parents and graduated with good enough grades to get into a decent college. But after his high school graduation, he disappeared for three weeks without a word.
Since then, his life has been a series of moments: in rehab, out of rehab, recovering and relapsing. Each time, it gets harder and harder. And every time, he burns bridges between himself and his loved ones.
Sober
At 29, Mizzy attended a specialist centre that treated the roots of addiction. And while he still struggles with temptation, his fight is nowhere near as hard as it once was.
Since then, Mizzy has published an anthology of short stories, freelances reviews for a prominent magazine and has a three-book deal. He keeps busy and is careful not to form obsessions the way he had in the past.
Romance doesn’t come as easy as it used to but his relationships are far healthier.

Ok here's the lore sorry for the long-ass post
Background
Place of Birth - Hamburg, Germany
He was raised in Berlin, his mother spoke German, his father spoke English, and learned both languages as “first” languages, thus he has a slight German accent and gets vocab mixed up a bit.
Date of Birth - Wednesday, November 7th, 1992, 3:19 AM
He is a Scorpio, often described as intense but secretive (see Scorpio Traits, p.3), which defines his character perfectly.
Full Name - Johann Tomas Geiger
He prefers to be called “Tomas” because Johann is kind of a stupid name in his opinion, also it has a better ring to it.
Childhood to Adulthood
Childhood - Raised in Berlin, his parents were divorced but had split-weekend custody; he stayed with his mom on weekdays and with his dad on weekends. He went to school in Berlin, made it to 10th grade, moved to the US with his mother after his father died of a drug overdose. Traumatic hospital visits to father in rehab made him never want to do drugs, and inherent fear of hospitals and sick-rooms. Decided at an early age to get into computers because hospital monitors were fascinating to him.
Teenhood - He lived in California from 2006 to 2009, went to high school in San Francisco for freshman-sophomore years, and attended school in Sacramento for junior-senior years. There, he studied computers and programming, primarily using Scratch as practice for coding. He learned PYTHON at 16, BASIC at 18, and reprogrammed Microsoft’s Word in BASIC just to prove it could be done. He also made an early “GPS” or “Digital Compass” at 19, used it on road-trips with mother.
Early Adulthood and College - He went to UCLA, got a doctorate in computer engineering, and programmed a small navigational system for taxi drivers in Los Angeles, as well as other areas of California. He moved onto larger orienteering programs for tour-buses and small tour-cruises, specifically bay-area based ones near Pier 39 and in San Francisco.
JohannesCorp - A very basic pun on Johannesburg, he started his own computer company, specializing in early GPS and orienteering/navigational programs. He took commissions as well as his own freelance projects, and had about 30 employees learning his own masterful system of simple-yet-complex coding.
Post-College Adulthood - His mother went into hospice care, and visiting her dug up old traumas. The only way he could cope with this new-old trauma was to do controlled blood-lettings as part of his fucked-up childhood, his abusive, drug-addicted father used to tell him that if he didn’t let a little blood for God, everyone would hate him, and if he didn’t do it, his father’s ghost would come back and probably kill him. The controlled blood-letting coping-mechanism was primarily either blood-donations or the medieval-modern use of leeches to extract blood, and he soon found himself covered in little scars from such practices, and many believed he had taken after his father in drug-use. | He was deep into this semi-addictive cycle when a commission came to him, and he believed it ro be a sign from the ghost of his father. The commission was to make a large navigational program for beta-testing in semi-autopilot cruise-ships, specifically a notable “floating hotel” near Hawai’i called the Seabourne Queen, a predecessor to the famous Seabourne Legend. Despite his mild-neurosis, he programmed, over the course of five years, a huge, complex navigational system for the beta-testing Seabourne Queen, primarily using PYTHON and other, more advanced computer languages. Fame was slowly catching up to him, and he was starting to enjoy all the attention that he had never received as a child, so he decided to go ahead with the system for the Seabourne Legend as well. He had just finished programming it, and testing had successfully begun, when the company discovered his traumatically-influenced, ritualistic bloodlettings, using the aid of leeches, and fired him on the grounds that “mild insanity is not a value in the workplace.” Of course, he wasn��t insane, just trying to cope with something in the only way he knew how. He had never considered therapy, nor had any help of that kind occurred to him.
The Seabourne Scandal - After being fired, he began plotting revenge against the ship itself by hacking into the system, running it into a coastal town, killing nearly everyone onboard, and stealing whatever precious materials were aboard. People had, of course, forgotten about him after the so-called “seabourne scandal,” so he engineered several easily-concealed bombs—made primarily out of old golf-clubs and golf-balls—boarded the Seabourne Legend, and then hid his identity by going by “Tomas” instead of “Johann,” which had been his professional name. By this time, his self-neglect had also caused his hair to grow longer, and some of the small, pinhole scars had healed more thoroughly.
He overheard that there was a huge lot of diamonds from Drake & Duke Diamonds aboard as a promotion of the two companies proposing a co-op (for more information on his heist-revenge plan, see Speed 2: Cruise Control [not the Wikipedia article, because it’s a basic plot-summary] for more detailed information on the scheme), so he set up about 20 of these golf-bombs all over the ship, hacked into the navigational computer, told it to stop in “emergency mode.” However, he decided that running the ship into a Coastal town was inhuman, and decided that sinking it would be better, because it allowed all the passengers to get off safely before he detonated the bombs. Because the program also had control over the ballast doors, he opened them from the computer and flooded the bottom of the ship. Everyone escaped successfully, including him, all in lifeboats. After all the passengers were at a safe distance, he detonated all the bombs and blew up the ship. He also managed to stuff all the Duke & Drake diamonds into a waterproof backpack that he had with him the entire voyage, escaping with nearly $3 million in jewelry. After all this, he decided to go to therapy, so he found a hippotherapy clinic in Yachats, OR, and began therapeutic treatment with horses there.

It’s possible that San Francisco went about the legalization of heroin all wrong. Maybe we should have funded the rehabs first, and maybe we should have actually had a discussion. San Francisco’s political establishment, on the other hand, sort of made it legal, creating opiate slash methamphetamine never-land in the very heart of the city.
Our decrepit homeless population is often held up as an example of the failing war on drugs, including by likes of Gascon and Adachi, but the two should know better: San Francisco surrendered a long time ago. Our reality is not the failed war on drugs but a failed attempt at legalization.
In place of robust law enforcement, city leadership is sponsoring harm-reduction programs, the most visible feature of which are the syringes littering the streets. We frequently hear that the City Hall supplies police officers with Narcan, and non-profits educate addicts about how to watch out for each other to avoid overdose deaths.
City-sponsored rehabs are required to teach harm reduction. For an example, the website of the Center for Harm Reduction Therapy, a service partially funded by San Francisco Department of Public Health, describes their approach the following way: “Non-dogmatic: We do not ask that our clients adopt labels such as ‘alcoholic or addict,’ or to believe that they have a disease, in order to change or quit substance use.”
Although the organization insists that their practices are evidence-based, they link to no studies. Instead, they offer testimonials, including: “You can take care of yourself AND use substances.” (Jamie is always planting these little seeds.)
Recovering drug addicts themselves often call harm reduction a different word: enabling. Here is what Wolf shared with me:
My opinion on harm reduction is that for me it would’ve and would continue to be a total failure. Harm reduction by nature is a way to enable or rationalize someone continuing to use drugs and remain in addiction. I knew a few people out there that would go to harm reduction meetings and within a couple days were completely binging on crack. In my opinion it is a weak response justified by protecting civil liberties when In reality all it does is make the person pushing the harm reduction model and those who support it feel better about themselves. The only way I was able to arrest my addiction was through faith and the 12 steps of AA and that program (which has worked for millions of addicts and alcoholics) demands complete abstinence from all mind altering chemicals.

The San Francisco Alcohol rehab, for instance, will cater to the needs of Alcohol patients who cannot leave it because of the addiction. The training at the rehab helps in the withdrawal and how it does that will now be highlighted. Below are the reasons why rehab like Alcohol rehab in San Francisco should be the choice if you want your loved one to break the cycle of the drug overuse-
Rehab helps in breaking the addictive cycle- People addicted to drugs should reside in a drug-free environment with individuals who would continuously push them towards their goal of leaving drugs. The act of drug rehabilitation could begin along with detoxification that helps the body get rid of the drugs and can treat the withdrawal symptoms. While everyone needs not to go through detox but detox alone cannot break the addictive cycle for long-term.
The drug addict is informed about addiction- Freedom from drugs can give the ability to thinking more clearly and can educate the drug addict about the addiction. When addiction is learned about then the insight is gained into individuals, events and others.
The centre helps dig into underlying problems- There could be multiple reasons for individuals getting addicted to drugs. The rehab helps in gaining an insight into it thereby helping with the withdrawal faster.
The new habits and practices can be built- Individuals with a history of drug use are not disciplined and do not practice self-care habits. At the rehabilitation centre, the development of these practices happens.
A rehabilitation centre can help the drug addict individual and therefore anyone if is looking to withdraw from the habit or want his/her loved one to withdraw from it then the San Francisco alcohol rehab can help. If you are looking for the best centre you can contact us.
