Upgoat - "what's upgoat!"

All dried out and feeling good. Put on a couple pounds while I was in. Here's how it went and expect a wall of text.

Got in. They do preliminary screening which is a bunch of questions and giving a urine sample. They took my clothes and my books. Changed into scrubs and headed to the DT ward (detox.) That's where they keep ya while waiting for a bed in the rehab wing.

I was notified of payment when I got there. $1300 a day. Seeing how many folks were there looks like they'd be bringing in around $26k that day.

I was assigned a room with a really hard mattress and pillows cased in vinyl that smelled of band aids. I had a roommate for a little while. He just slept and ate Valiums so no big deal.

The food wasn't bad at all and we were fed about every four hours with snacks and other drinks. Actually had BBQ beef brisket with Mac and cheese, scalloped potatoes, side salad and a cherry Italian ice once. Pretty decent for facility food.

Most of the folks including staff were White which was pleasant. Most patients were there for fentanyl, alcohol and meth. Talked to one of them and they had been there 19 times. Glad they're going but damn.

Course we had a queen b. Theyre moderately attractive women who flirt with nearly all the men. It's fake and obvious. Annoying too.

I spent most of my time reading and planning that I'd do when I got out. It gave me peace and thinking clearly I could formulate plans better.

Made two friends and sponsors while I was there too.

Classes were pretty good and largely run by recovered addicts. It did get a little tiring everytime someone new joined and the social worker would go through their life story again.

I did take my time to explain central banking, Rothschilds, Rockefellers and Saudi oil shieks to a few folks. Explained Epsteins island to a few more and why we're never gonna get any evidence. Shit all over reddit. Explained to two guys how bottom surgery works for mtf trannies. They were horrified. One being a 50 year old country guy that slurs his words together and thought there were lasers attached to our rooms to keep us in. I figured I blended in ok after talking to one patient about the anunaki.

So quite the host of characters. Margo was likely the most wild and funniest. Seemed like a genuinely good woman that made some really bad decisions in her life but her stories were hysterical. She was wanting to bounce early and go back with her bf that cooks crack and sells weed, lsd and shrooms. My buddy and I were vehemently against it and told her as much. Hopefully she stuck around.

I could see the blue ride mountains from my room and outside in the yard. Talked with some locals about hurricane Helene that experienced it first hand. Some locals told me the town next door was infested with users and homeless after the city council decided to tell the whole US if you are using and homeless we have housing. Native population is around 70k so I bet ya know how well that's working.

Anyway. I missed yall and I'll catch up with everyone over time. Got a lot to do and will be attending local meetings to keep it going. Thanks again for all your support!
