Went to the clinic for my interview and the first thing they had me do was pee in a cup and take a breathalyzer. WTF? Then after talking for about 45 minutes they said the program would require that I check into the clinic full time for about 4 days and do a cold turkey detox under constant medical care ($3,000 deductible), I'd then have to go 3 nights a week for at least 8 weeks ($25 a visit x 24 visits = $600).

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I don't want to entirely quit drinking and pot. I just want to learn some tools to help manage things and keep from having those overboard days. She then referred me to these guys. It's basically AA without all of the higher power BS.
