I find this post really helpful just reading it and thinking about the phases I am in.
What’s YOUR plan? - Life in Recovery - Talking Sober - Addiction Recovery Forum & Support Group
While it may be difficult to do this early. It’s really important to make a plan for your recovery. Know what to expect and plan how you are going to deal with it.
The thing that worked for me was community. People who, as you said, understand addiction. I found that community, I go to AA meetings, I contribute on here. I ask questions. That sense of connection, knowing that you are not alone. Is really key.
I am so proud of you for taking the first step. You can do it!
And so can you @DaughterOfTheSea xx
