She was very good at playing someone who was genuinely concerned but I knew it was a job. I could just sense it. Especially since we did group sessions.

I got sober for about 2 weeks and then I went back on the pills. I started attending the meetings high. In the 10 minute breaks they gave us I would sometimes literally run to the CVS down the street to get more, then come back and continue the group meeting and continue to talk with a straight face about what a blessing it is being sober.

Finally I got kicked out the homeless shelter for the 2nd and last time, for once again sneaking booze.

I left the shelter and ended up getting into a fight/jumped. I'm not quite sure which it was since I was wasted. Then the next day I went to that out patient office and told them I needed long term rehab. When they expressed shock at this news, I did my best to explain how I had lied to their face for so long and how I just have a knack at that sort of thing.

That's how I ended up at the Christian sobriety cult.
