How was I able to get rid of my addictions? I spent some time at Pür Detox, a high-class detox center in California. But let’s back up so I can share with you a little bit about how I ended up in a luxurious rehab center by the sea to become the person I never knew that I could be. Detox For Executives
I am the only child; dad was an untreated alcoholic and mom didn’t care much about dad’s drinking problems. My childhood days were nothing close to memorable happiness because dad was always drunk and mom and I often leave the house to avoid dad’s rages.
Dad’s doctors advised himto take Antibuse but unfortunately, he just shrugged it off. Mom forced him to take the pills each day, but finally she grew tired of this life. Then she met another man when I was a teenager and we left my dad.
It was a bit late for me as well. I was already getting drunk by the time I was 15.
I was a good daughter and a straight A student but these didn’t matter, I was heartbroken. I crave for attention from my parents. Home life was a wreck and dad’s drinking was taking a toll on our family.
Being a good kid didn’t merit any attention from my parents. Looking back, I see where I went wrong. I decided that any attention – even negative attention – was better than nothing. So I started acting out in ways that were guaranteed to get attention. I skipped classes, lied to my mom and my teachers and didn’t do my homework. I was hooked into shoplifting and I constantly drank with kids whom I believed were my friends. Detox For Professionals
Months passed by, I noticed that my mom’s attitude towards me changed. All of a sudden, she want to save me from myself and the whole mess I created. It was good as it last. I was able to finish high school and became a successful travel agent. I loved what I was doing - the challenge of my work, being around with clients, most of whom are executives. It was the kind of life I dreamed of. I wanted to savor the good things life can offer because my own life was nothing but problems after the other.
Things began to lose control in about five years into my career. I was engaged but I was blinded to even take notice of the warning signs. He was a lot like my father. My mom tried to talk me out of it but I didn’t listen to her. Next thing I knew, I was enjoying champagne at the company’s Christmas party and then my life started to go on a downward spiral once again. I had so much to lose this time.
My mom and my stepdad took the initiative to bring me to Pur Detox in Laguna Beach. At first, I was hesitant about going to rehab. Not that I’m a snob, but I imagined it as being incarcerated in a dark, dingy place with people who were fresh off the streets. My fears were way off from reality.
Pur Detox was like staying at a luxury resort, with the added benefit of being able to focus on myself and my recovery. Loving oneself is the first step. To love myself meant committing to the medically supervised program at Pur Detox and that decision was the greatest gift I gave myself. On top of that, I have learned to love and accept others unconditionally. Detox Program
