A big part of your rehab, is coming clean on why you were arrested. If you're unwilling to face that reality, I for one, am not willing to offer help.

As has been indicated, it is much too embarassing to talk about here.

I am finding some people here do not need to know exactly what I did; for that I am grateful. I am sorry you do not feel the same.

I once created and told a lie so heinous, I could never admit I lied.
I went to my Pastor, and I admitted what I had done, that I felt so incredibly guilty, embarrassed, and shamed by it. I told him what a friend had said..the first part of your getting through this, is coming clean. And I asked Pastor, should I do that?
He saw how hurt I was, and how much I was hurting, he knew I was genuinely sorrowful for this act, that I would never do it again and, the hurt I caused would be indelibly etched in my head and my soul.
He looked at me, by now with tears in my eyes, hoping he would give an answer that would take away this pain, and he said...

Jesus Christ gave His life for YOUR sins. Allow Him to carry this burden and accept that you cannot undo what you have done.

And then he said, I hope this helps YOU make YOUR decision.

I'll Pray ya', man...

Good Luck
