Not finishing classes.

Ok so a few months ago I got in a little legal trouble. As a result of that I had to take some drug addiction classes. The classes were once a week for 12 weeks. It's horrible, I sit in a room with a bunch of junkies, crackheads, people addicted to dust off and pcp. I'm the only one in there for marijuana. Yes, marijuana, it's like some half baked shit. It wouldn't be too bad if there was at least one other weed smoker in there. It's hard for me to relate or get anything out of stories of a guy who spent his whole $700 dollar disability check on crack in 2 days and now doesn't have food for his kids
Well my court case was closed last week so I asked my counselor if I had to complete the rest of the course, it's like another 4 classes. She said it wasn't mandatory but that I had committed to the full 12 weeks. I really don't feel like finishing them. With the holidays coming up I've got a lot going on and going there is a real inconvenience and of course I really want to smoke.
Do you guys think I should finish out the classes? What could possibly happen to me if I don't? I don't think they could re-open my case or anything like that. It just makes me feel nasty sitting in a room with all of these people for 2 hours. I don't know, I'm thinking about going to 1 more class and just telling her I've got too much going on with the holidays coming up.

are you not learning anything from the classes? you may not be able to relate to the other harder drug users, but addiction is a tendency within all of us humans, and we can all stand to learn a thing or two about it

Oh the horror!
Do the fucking classes. Preferably without whining.

No, I would say I'm not really learning anything. There were classes where I did not say one word. At the end the counselor said "I'm sorry, we didn't have time to get to you". Like what the fuck, if you don't have time for me what am I doing here? Just to ream my insurance for more cash is my guess.
I dealt with a heavy heroin addiction about 10 years ago. A roommate and I kicked it together with no programs or anything like that. Just black market methadone and a whole lot of willpower. It was brutal but we both came out clean and have remained so for almost a decade now.

If they aren't mandatory, I don't see why you would finish them

Makes sense. I wouldn't do one lick more than was required to keep me out of jail. Hell, I have done less than that before (and wound up back in jail ).

The only reason I would finish is because the counselor said I committed to the 12 week class. I think I'm just going to do one more class tomorrow and that's it.

if its not mandatory and theres no reprecussions then fuck it. those classes are jokes anyways
back in college i got caught drinking one night, then 3 days later for smoking in my room with about 20 people in my dorm which was a big no no
i had to do those classes and they were such bullshit. went there baked and made a joke out of it. and since i got in trouble twice, i had to do 2 - one hour sessions with a counselour for my drug usage
i found out it was confidential and it was a joke i had to do the sessions. ao i made a joke out of it. told her im addicted to weed, told her ive done all these horrible drugs. all with a semi straight face. she asked me when the last time i smoked weed and i just started LOLing. she looks at her clock and says "well its about 9:30 right now" i was like "uhhhh 9 oclock?" told her ive smoked crack, snorted heroin, smoked pcp. done acid and shrooms within the last week (which was actually true). ecstasy, coke, and moonshine
i actually had fun. she was only a few years older than me and knew i was fucking with her but she didnt do anything. just listened and asked questions
if their gonna make me do this bullshit i minus well make a joke out of it, since it already was in my mind
dont do the classes unless you really have to. otherwise fuck it
