i'm at a motel right now drinking myself to sleep while flipping through the cable television channels and jesus christ, like a quarter of all the commercials on all the channels are addiction recovery services.

why so many, and who are they even targeting!?

You ever watch those Phantasm movies, where ponytailed ice cream man Ronnie crosses the country in pursuit of the Tall Man, an extradimensional horror who travels the land, gutting each town he visits, turning their inhabitants into bone-crunched undead jawas through some strange alchemy that also prevents the rest of the country from realizing the world is rotting from the heartland outward? Well this is kind of like that except with heroin. You're creepy ol Ronnie unfortunately.

They make you drink juice and wake up at 5 am to do 'team stuff' then your insurance pays them 5800 dollars and your rates go up

Alternate idea that won't bankrupt anyone or give them a horrible month of life: Taper very slowly, research supplements and dietary changes carefully, add meaningful hobbies hopefully some involving working out and interacting with people in your daily routine.

in drug class they made us watch this tv special about a hardcore vodka addict who couldn't eat because his throat was hosed up from alcohol. he had poo poo motor skills and would get the shakes when he couldn't drink but his family forced him to attend rehab and they took away his alcohol and he died and his family scattered his ashes over a canyon

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
There used to be a sickening one where a guy says at the end "I wish my family cared enough about me to send me to rehab" or something like that.

I would kill for some relaxing rehab commercials.

It seems like half of all commercials I see these days are for credit karma. Specifically the one with the slob husband drinking his wife's rancid tit milk.

The only people still watching cable TV are alcoholics and drug addicts. Any normal person has netflix or hulu and uses the internet.

People who consume lots of television fall into two buckets; those who have obscene money and little to do with their life (not many) and those who have some sort of debilitation that keeps them from doing much else. Debilitations include injuries, medical problems, and drug abuse. With ease of funneling money into rehab centers that final portion of the stay-at-home-and-watch-tv segment can be captured.

Thats it, you can finish your 5am infomercial binge in a hotel with heroin hookers in peace now, OP.

My Hulu ads are either for a pregnancy test or IUD. It can't tell if I'm supposed to get pregnant or not. Having a uterus would probably be a good place to start, though.

When I had to go to a legally mandated class on drugs and alcohol, they made us watch a video about how bad meth is, then the guy running it called us all pieces of poo poo because we got busted either smoking weed or being drunk.

I shared a Netflix account one time with my mom who loves bbc British tv shows about sad butlers, and I like horror movies, so all my recommendations were about sad English demon murder butlers
