Los Angeles–where a huge recovery community exists.

I live in Los Angeles, where the recovery community is huge. There are literally thousands of recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. I know hundreds of people who have been through drug rehabilitation. Some got clean and sober through a 12-step program, some did it cold turkey (no thank you!) but most of them went through an alcohol or drug rehab center. I know couples whoâ€™ve been married for years, with kids and houses, that met in a drug rehab. Sounds corny, but I think it’s cool. They met when they were at their most vulnerable, and also when they were asking for help. Rehab can be a magical place like that. I know tons of life-long friends who met in rehab. People that started bands, companies, wrote movies together; all of it. Mostly, addicts and alcoholics are creative, smart people and sometimes in rehab they meet, and decide to be creative together. I think thatâ€™s so cool. When I was in rehab, I met a lot of sweet people, and some crazy people, but mostly fun to be around people who, just like me, had addictions that needed to be taken care of. It was such a good time, rehab, because what happened afterwords is I got my life back, as did the hundreds of recovering addicts I know.
