Alright guys... First off, FUCK another DUI, I AM NOT going through this shit again!! On citas! Anyway, I give this place a thumbs up. Why? Because, not only is this place the cheapest in the bay, but this place has employees that keeps it real. I mean, damn, we just got a DUI... What's there to hide? Call & make the appointment. Pay attention, handle your shit & get it done ASAP so you can move on with life!
Right after court I looked around for DUI programs which offered the cheapest fees & found this joint. I called @ around 9:30a & got a quick response. I know we're in some shit but don't let your inner struggle effect those you're trying to talk to. There's a time to be obnoxious/arrogant & there's a time to keep it straight up/professional. Don't take it personal when u get Patricia on the line telling you what it is cuz it seriously is what u need to do, so just follow directions. If you don't understand something, ask a question & make sure it's clear!
For those first offenders, we're all in the same boat. It got holes. Gotta pay dues because of our bad decisions. I've read a lot of hate regarding Patricia, and those that do, either have narrow or too high of an expectation in regards to human relations. Patricia is blunt & direct. She's not gonna beat around the bush & tell you softly, she's not gonna cry for you, you're an adult, fuckin handle your own shit! What? You're gonna cry & pout so that others can feel empathetic & give you some slack?! What are you, 8years old? Grow up!!
One thing you gotta understand is that these counsellors have been in our situation if not worse! They get us. They KNOW what we're going through & they know what we NEED to do. Yeah, they might show movies & it might seem like a waste of your time. Yeah, they might say some shit that we think we know. Yeah, we've heard it before, etc, but hey, this is what we gotta complete so just enjoy what you can with your time instead of complaining like an 8 year old. If you think you're the only one walking through fire, YOURE NOT.
Bi-bett is chill in terms of counsellors. The education portion of the program has got to be the most boring aspect, but there's great information that you can apply to yourself if you pay attention to lecture. The materials they show during education gets DEEP if you can stay engaged & I gotta admit that one movie has left its mark.
Group is the second half of the program & is also chill, you just sit in a circle & share experiences/answer group questions related to key topics. It's similar to the movies but without the "hi, my name is Joe, & I'm an alcoholic" line.
This place works if you're willing & open to changing yourself, but you first gotta WANT to change your habits. These counsellors, especially Patricia, will keep it 100 & will tell you what it is. Just take it in cuz sometimes we need someone to tell us what we already know so that we can help ourselves that much more.
I give this place a moderate 5stars because you may encounter a substitute counselor who sucks, but you gotta adapt because they do have different methods in relieving some inner struggle. Pay your dues, & move on with your life as a better person. Change yourself. These counsellors @ bi-bett are stepping stones for you to change. Take advantage. Keep it real WITH YOURSELF. Not for nobody else, but FOR YOURSELF! It's easy to hate, the real pleasure is giving props & showing love. Bi-Bett has added on top of my wisdom & strength. read more
