I've been thinking lately... SouthWestern would make a great place for recovering addicts of all sorts.
When you join SouthWestern and go through sales school you are asked not to drink, swear, do drugs, sleep a full eight hours, engage in sexual activities, gamble, spend money on little things, etc. You are allowed to smoke, so this program obviously wouldn't work for smokers.
The program would work beautifully for anyone who really wanted to give up their problems. Obviously, it won't keep a true addict down, because these people always find a way, but willing parties would find success with SouthWestern.
Their schedule is what does it. You wake up at 6AM every day but Sunday (7AM.) Then they keep you up and active all day long until 11PM so that you don't fall asleep. Those activities are also usually sufficient to keep you from many of the other activities that feed addictions. Combine that with a fascist student manager (they all are this way -- it's in the training) and you are on your way to an addiction free summer. The final touch is the desire to succeed in this business, which gives people a new high that seems to get a good 1/3 of the people to come back for more.
Maybe this is just addiction replacement. Nah. Luckily, people seem to burn out, which doesn't end in death -- so that's positive.
Wow. I am rambling. I think prolonged sleep deprevation causes drain damage.
