From people who came through it
“For whoever is where I was: A few years back, that was me. For me it was my mum letting me back in the house. Yesterday I booked a holiday. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
Grumpy Shell 4 · been through drug addiction recovery“Dear stranger, in 2022 I was exactly where you are. Back then it was rehab in the summer. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. Hang on.”
koficards97 · been through drug addiction recovery“I was in the same place eighteen months ago. I remember nA meetings like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. One day at a time.”
iris_gold · been through drug addiction recovery“Reading this late at night? I've been there. I've been there. For me it was two years ago. I remember clean since March like it was yesterday. I picked up the guitar again. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
