Checking In/support and accountability

Hi there,

I am in a group therapy treatment program. I started goring in December two times a week. In April it went down to once a week. I had group today and I didn’t really feel like I got what I needed out of it, and now we dont meet for two weeks. I don’t have any other group or meeting that I go to physically. I plan on checking in here and hoping to just maintain some kind of accountability with my recovery. Recovery is definitely a constantly changing journey and I know that I need to be surrounding myself with people/ideas that support my recovery goals. I have felt very alone in my journey. Something I’ve done by choice and not for lack of supportive friends and family. But I’m realizing I’m going to have to find some kind of support system.

Welcome to the community there are a lot of supportive and caring people here who are more than happy to listen or give you advice I would suggest reading through some of the threads and post anything that’s on your mind as far as recovery I’m glad you are here

Have you considered incorporating another recovery program into your life like AA, Recovery Dharma or Smart Recovery?
I started my journey by going to IOP for 3 months. When it went down to 2 days a week, I started going to AA. I knew if I didn’t, I was setting myself up for failure. It wasn’t possible to end IOP thinking I was suddenly healed.

I’m in IOP now. Started in December 2 days a week and now it’s one day week. I am going to look Into another group that I can go to. I know I’m going to need something after IOP. I don’t think I will do well with AA. I may look into smart. Thank you!

Hey everyone it’s been a while. I’m about to start Naltrexone. Anyone had experiences good or bad? Not really looking much for the, it’s not clean comments. I plan to get off it asap. Unless it was hard for you to, please don’t come for me. Lol

I’m checking in as well!!! Day 2 for me. :slight_smile:

Like the idea of accountability.
