You don’t ever have to feel alone. This world is riddled with us and this forum has at least one in every time zone. Three days is great, first week sucks just keep your eye on the prize.

Some ways I kept myself busy those first 10 days…

- painting (was never an artist before by why not!)
- read day and night on here
- listening to recovery podcasts
- read lots of self help/recovery type literature
- got out walking as much as I could

You can always reach out on here… I will link some threads to start your countless hours of reading on.

Happy you are here.  
😊
