How do I get motivated after being through residential program?

I commend you for reaching out here before you relapse. That’s something I almost never ever see. :+1:t2:

But you will relapse if you let this slide. Ofc the pull of normality, all the stressors and feelings of your life that you drank at will be right back there at home. The same pull to drink is still there. You haven’t changed yet. Now the work to slowly start to change yourself and your life around you must begin, slowly odaat.

However you do have the same motivation that made you go into rehab in the first place. Connect w your wishes that led you there and start putting in the work.

I surrounded myself w recovery 24/7 when I first got sober, listened and read every free minute of the day. There’s meetings and lots of stuff.

Here’s a comprehensive list of Resources for our recovery.

You have two options, the life you led or work for a better one. Get going!
