7 days ago I was 5150’d and now that I’m out I’m starting my journey of sobriety. I feel great at the moment even through the anxiety I’m taking my prescribed meds that help me to deal with depression anxiety and psychosis. I’ve been an addict since I was 15 so that’s 10 years now and the longest I’ve ever been sober since was 1 month I’m hoping to find a friend here to exchange support during this process (:

@LivLaughLobotomy I think you’re on the right track looking for other people to support your recovery. This is a great place to find support and advice and so much more to do with recovery. Do you live with supportive people? Have you signed up for therapy or counseling? Have you checked out local AA meetings? You don’t want to miss out on the support of those in your area especially, but not only because they can help you - but because you can help them stay sober too.
Give it a shot and welcome to recovery
