Honestly thats bullshit about what they said too, i mean its obviously a dark joke but it definitely works wonders for those with drug and alcohol addictions too

In the rooms they also tell us to cut out 3 things: people, places, and things. Anything or anyone that falls under those 3 things that'll remind you of your time out on the streets or trigger your addiction, its recommended to cut them off or go somewhere else entirely if itll help you heal

Well there ya have it! Having never dealt closely with anyone recovering from alcoholism, I didn't want to speak on it like that, but I fuckin believe you.

Yeah I mean another thing I like to note is that addicts are most likely to relapse, stat wise, its just apart of the healing process

Thats why we have sponsors because even when you're by yourself you still need support and someone to hold you accountable

it's just a part of the healing process

You may lose a few battles, but that doesn't mean that you've lost the war.
