This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments!

A friend of mine recently completed a rehab program and contacted me to make amends. As you might imagine, our friendship went from close, to strained, to non-existent for reasons both directly and indirectly related to her addiction. There was a straw/camel’s back situation a few years ago, which led to me completely cutting her off.

Despite that, I’m still the only friend she has left. I really want her to lead a happy and sober life. I do care about her and we have lots of good memories together from the years we were friends. But peppered throughout those years were all sorts of betrayals, drama, and negativity. My life since I cut her out has been drastically better; the people around me are people I trust and drama is rare. I guess I just don’t know where she fits into my life anymore.

I should add that when we spoke, it seemed like she was really committed to staying sober and not engaging in the other destructive behaviors that caused our friendship breakup. But you can imagine why I would be hesitant to believe that after years of lies.

I guess my question is: Is it an obligation of mine to be one of her main support systems since she doesn't have other friends? Can I be supportive of her new life without really letting her back into mine? Can people really change, not just get clean, but actually change how they interact with and treat people during rehab? Also, I’d just be interested in hearing from anyone who has gone through rehab themselves or had a friend or loved one transition to a sober life.

They say still waters run deep, but I say deep water is for running. Let me explain.

I recently suffered a pulled calf muscle — an entirely new injury to me. After three days of doing the R.I.C.E. thing (as well as feeling sorry for myself), I was craving a workout, but still walking with quite a limp. I could tell that even the elliptical was still out of my range, so I tried some deep water running. I strapped on the flotation belt (my gym has a closet of all sizes), cinched it tight on my waist, and walked into the pool.

Did I feel like a fool at first? Simply put, yes. Did I feel great after running intervals for 25 minutes? Yes. The great thing about deep water running is it works the same muscles running on land does minus the pounding, so it is gentle on injured joints — it didn't bother my calf. I could really feel the work in my hamstrings, which felt great. And I could tell my core was engaged too. My arms got a nice workout as well, something I don't usually experience when running. Deep water running is no joke when it comes to cardio. It didn't get my heart rate up as high as if I was running on land, but according to my heart rate monitor I was only about 10 beats per minute slower than when actually running. Running in water is considered a great way to maintain cardiovascular fitness when rehabbing an injury, and in general it's a great way to cross train. I think I might be a convert.

Now that Tiger Woods is off the golf course and likely in sex rehab, we're left with one question: how exactly is sexual addiction treated?

Fortunately, recovering sex addict Benoit Denizet-Lewis's book — America Anonymous: Eight Addicts in Search of a Life — just went into paperback and he needs to publicize it. Drawing from his own experience in sex rehab, he tells us what Tiger Woods, and even nonceleb sex addicts, can expect.

• Attending group and couples therapy: Group therapy is mandatory for everyone in treatment, but clients with spouses must also attend couples therapy — if the spouse is willing, anyway.
• Signing a celibacy contract: The celibacy contract promises you will not only abstain from sex but also masturbation.
• Writing an empathy letter: Sex addicts who've cheated repeatedly on their spouses often pen empathy letters, which are never sent but are read aloud in group therapy. More often than not, they're openly criticized for not being empathetic enough.
• Reading a cost letter: Cost letters are written by spouses and detail how the addict's philandering has affected them and their families. The letters are read by another person in treatment and, yes, in front of everyone.
• Taking 12 steps: The 12-step program — admitting the problem, recognizing a higher power, making amends, etc. — is as integral to sex-addiction recovery as it is Alcoholics Anonymous.
  

For $2, you too could have rid yourself of that pesky moonshine and opium problem, or "no pay." Maybe it's just the nostalgia, but this makes me want a moonshine and opium problem!
