The Haunting of Hill House · Season 1, Episode 15

Steven Crain, Joey and others in “Unfinished Business”

So is this your first rehab, Joey?

JJoey

Uh, it's far from it. Some of us are addicted to treatment centers, huh?

It's not Luke's first rodeo either. So what's different this time? Something must be. I mean, you know the definition of insanity--

Steve.

Doing the same thing over and over--

JJoey

--and expecting different results. Sure, man. Sure. They're all different, though. Every day is different, every craving is different, every meeting is different--

Right, I'm not trying to suggest that you're not taking this seriously.

JJoey

Oh, and I'm just--this time around--I'm just speaking for myself--I got more support. And I'm giving more support. So in a sense I guess you could say, it looks like the same thing over and over again, but that's not insanity. Out there on the streets, that's insanity.

Of course.

JJoey

So that's what recovery is, you know, it's the same thing over and over again in spite of the results--or in spite of a backslide or in spite of a full-fledged fucking relapse. Doesn't mean you stop just because it gets a little repetitive. One day at a time. When we decide to get clean it's not because we expect it to be fucking exciting, you know?
