Ain't No Need in Ya'll Treating Me That Way

My first Friday in rehab and things are starting to get tough for me personally.  I picked this song for that one line in the song, "Ain't no need in ya'll treating me this way".


Carla was in rehab in Houston or so I thought.  I got one letter from her asking me to write and I have written several letters and not heard from her.  The coming Sunday, I could and did get a pass to leave the rehab with family for 4 hours. 
All of a sudden, my family that sent me to rehab starting acting like I had some dread disease.  They informed me that they would not take me out of rehab, but would come to see me.  What was that about.  I would learn in the next few days.  As a matter of fact in the next few days, my family even quit answering the phone when I would call. I was getting pretty upset because I didn't know why they were treating me this way. I can tell you this, when you are stashed away in rehab with a bunch of drunks and addicts, can't get a hold of your wife and your family quits talking to you.  You get pretty scared and lonesome.
The good thing was that I was walking closer to God and he had given me serenity.  Even in a close walk with God, life still happens and it was happening all around me.
