I had been to an inpatient drug rehab center before, but I had only stayed about three days last time. This time, I knew that I needed to at least dry off and let the tensions in my old hood cool down a bit before I could leave. I figured that I could stay for three or four weeks in the Christian drug rehab center, then get going with the rest of my life. It would be a breeze compared to the life I had been living. I had not stopped to think about what would be required of me in that Christian drug rehab treatment center. It was a lot more than just not doing drugs. We would spend time praying, meditating on the teachings of the Bible, discussing our problems, and sharing ways to use our faith to overcome addiction.
