Move to Vancouver?

[thclevel5]

I've got a bad driving record and I have to go to court-ordered rehab. But it lasts 6 months, includes Bible study, and I don't believe in God sometimes. Maybe I could make it if it was just 3 or 4 months, but 6 seems impossible.

I know that a small amount of bud is legal within the city of Vancouver. I would like to live near the Pacific Ocean anyway, plus it's a beautiful city.

Right now, I want to go into rehab and just get it done. But there's a very real possibility that I might get kicked out. If that happens, my parents probably wouldn't let me make a pit-stop at home to pick up my furniture to bring along to Vancouver. So I'd basically just have my suitcases of clothing and hygiene products, etc. to bring with me.

I guess I could pay for a Vancouver community college with a student loan, and get a career that way...such as being a dental assistant, criminal justice worker, etc.

Do you think I should move to Vancouver right now, or just white-knuckle it through rehab?

I dunno man it just seems impossible to me to just pack up and move somewhere without a plan.

I've found some apartments...one at $500 per month. So I'd basically just get off the bus and head to my new home.

Court-ordered Bible study? I've never understood how that works.... is it Teen Challenge by any chance?

WTF damn court can't order u to Bible study! Isn't that against the separation of church and state!

Well, I had to choose one rehab program, or else spend 3 months in jail. I chose the Salvation Army. It's free. It's a 6-month rehab with Bible study. But they tell me that their program doesn't follow God too closely. It's supposed to be about getting back into the 9-5 work lifestyle, with the spiritual component on the side.

My other rehab choices would've either cost $10,000-$30,000. And one rehab costs just $2,000 but only goes for two months. And another choice lasts a whole year and is completely about Jesus. Yikes.

So, the Salvation Army seems to be my best choice.

ya i guess so

Man! Wouldn't that be a violation of rights? To order someone to a religious event that doesn't necessarily coincide with your religious beliefs? Come onnnn !

that's messed up, i'd be taking that shit straight to the supreme court.
It's a violation of human rights! A government (in the western hemisphere anyway) shouldn't be able to force a religious opinion on anyone

It's bad enough that the judge violated my constitutional right to a fair and speedy trial. So I really have contemplated a visit to the supreme court. Like I said, bobbong, I chose the Salvation Army because it's the rehab that best fit my needs. The Bible study component just comes along with their program.
