I have been able to avoid rehabs since 1988, but not so much psych wards. I stayed sober throughout the 90s, except for an occasional beer. I got married in 01, and we began smoking pot together in 04 and continued to 2010, when we quit and entered a twelve step program together. I coming up on two years now (in a few months) I attend meetings regurally and I have a sponsor. I feel good today. I met with my psychiatrist a couple of days ago, and he seems to feel I'm stable. He seems more concerned with my soda consumption than any other symptom.
