🐷 Ethan Ralph's Twitter / Tweets - A collection of thoughts, insights and musings from the internet's favorite gunted hobbit

Refs jobbed the Bills. They knew Ralph would end it all if the Chiefs lost, and in their mercy handed KC the game. Heartwarming.

Or Ralph doesn't know when he'll be released from the rehab program. That's pretty strange to not know. People with lives would like to get back to them.

Do Mexican courts ever order defendants into rehab? That's the only way I am familiar with stateside that a "patient" might not know when they will be discharged.

Mahomes and Kelce in two weeks, “for Ralph.”

The problem with this whole rehab thing is that to really beat addiction you have to find a new way to live. You can't go back to your old job and lifestyle.

I think the whole problem is Ralph having to face being Ralph, while sober.

If Ralph doesn't know when he's getting out he may either be exaggerating, it's court-ordered, or he has voluntarily put himself in a program that only lets people out when they show enough growth or go against medical advice.

I don't know what's the weirdest admission in the Twitter video. That "staff" weren't initially going to let Ralph watch the AFC championship game, but they were gonna let him watch the Superbowl apparently.

I did believe he went to a treatment facility but now I'm not so sure. A shower and shave, does not sobriety make.

Treatment usually gets you in the door by telling you 28 or 30 days then milks you for 90+ days if they can. Especially if your insurance covers it, you need it to keep your job (doctors and nurses especially), or to get out of criminal trouble(edit: or child custody). They are for profit at the end of the day no matter what they say or pretend to be they're a business.
Using the possibility of an AMA (against medical advice) discharge, which looks terrible, if you try to leave instead of successful completion is another tactic.
At least in murica

Robbed of winter piss yeti in favour of fat gay greasy baby chic. Shameful.

Also top lol at seeing his cell phone reflected on his oily forehead. He should spend less time seething and more time washing his face.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

So I’m still not ruling out the 1% chance Ralph roped himself into some sort of Anexo set-up in Merida.

If Ralph doesn't know when he's getting out he may either be exaggerating, it's court-ordered, or he has voluntarily put himself in a program that only lets people out when they show enough growth or go against medical advice.

Court ordered drug rehab doesn’t exist in Mexico. Everything you know about standard drug rehab in the west does not apply in Mexico

 

[Obscura539]

The resemblance is unreal.

He's had a couple of US court cases recently. Let us not forget that Ethan was more diligent about paying his dues than Nick Rekieta.

I would have killed for a whole three months. They kicked me out at 40 days.

I've seen them guilt families and force people into mortgaging their homes, maxing out credit cards, taking out loans. It's a vicious business.
I hope that you were able to stay clean. AA/NA works

I've seen it too. Knew a guy who had his wife living out of their Jeep while he was in because they couldn't afford the apartment and rehab. If anything that aspect is probably worse in Mexico. I had a family member who under went cancer treatment in Mexico and they had to bribe the nurses to provide English instructions or do things like give them the prescription they already paid for. Ralph is getting financially destroyed by this

 

[el bandito loco]

it wasn't anything interesting or substantial but I knew Ethan's addiction to the internet wouldn't allow him to not post rehab or not. it's never all quiet on the western gunt.

Isn't this primarily because that insurance stops paying for it because it's no longer considered a 'medical necessity' and yet they tell you that you need to continue? Pretty sure at that point it's just fancy AA/NA sessions that you're paying through the nose for and not getting the fundamental help you need.

Go with SMART instead.

Yeah. If somebody really needs the extra external accountability then a sober living facility (halfway house) is way cheaper than rehab. An entire month at a halfway house can sometimes be cheaper than a single day of inpatient rehab. Beyond initial detox and the first few weeks of cravings its not worth it to stay inpatient for months on end. The financial stress of 90 days worth of inpatient isn't something a recovering addict should saddle themselves with.

I think the whole problem is Ralph having to face being Ralph, while sober.

Imagine waking up after a multi year long booze and Xanax bender and realizing you completely ruined your life. Why stay sober after that? Your marriage is ruined, your chance of any type of real employment is ruined, court cases keep you from going back to your home country like why not drink? What's left to lose?

Good luck finding an in person meeting. My friend is a drug councilor at the VA and a SMART facilitator. They began to supplement it with local AA members bringing in meetings as the patients kept relapsing. The reason they use SMART is because AA/na etc can't directly be associated with outside enterprises when money is involved but SMART has no qualms and the federal government pays for staff to be trained in it. Once these vets get out they have had the most success sticking with AA/NA as there are hundreds of in person meetings locally and zero smart meetings.

That said, whatever works for you and keeps you sober more power to you. I used to see various anonymous groups thinking there's was the best and try to talk people into joining their specific one. In the past years I've noticed a change to "Try AA, NA, DAA and see what clicks with you" and of course people taking part in multiple fellowships.

More on topic of the thread though. I highly doubt Ralph will get involved with any recovery program once he gets out as he's so cocky and stupid to think that rehab will just fix him permanently on its own and will not even follow their suggestions. Seen it happen a zillion times

It's legitimately a reason why a lot of people immediately go back to drugs and alcohol.

The whole reason I think Nicky the non-practicing lawyer and his wife are either going to go back to drug abuse or get a divorce. Sober, they are going to have to face what they put themselves and their kids through. Chances are, they are going to take the easy way out.

Same with Ralph.

My thoughts were moreso that Ralph has Internet dependency ergo SMART might be more viable for someone in his circumstances. Like you said, keep trying until you find something that works for you. Ralph will probably fall into that category who thinks rehab is like dropping your car off at a mechanic and expecting it to return fixed. He will go through that honeymoon phase and without any kind of continued support, will inevitably relapse when he feels like he's invincible or "above it all" and succumb to his urges. He's literally gone on the record saying he's "made of vice" so even if he were to remain sober, his need for sex/hookers will drive him further back into one thing and then another and he'll try to spin it as 'Well I dun fugged up agen, chat, but as mah papi used to say, fug a bish or die tryin!'
