I would have to say that mental health plays a huge role in recovery.
Some of that depends on what you were addicted to also, alot of powders will make your brain defficiant of happy hormones and can be related to other types of depression, anxiety ect...

Even Bill W say "Alcohol was not our problem but mearly a symptom, what we truely suffer from is a soal sickness."
I dont know about you but for me this is true, until I stopped being a piece of sheet I couldnt stop relapsing.

Self help books really worked for me, I recomend OG Mandino for one.
Another thing that really helped was fighting hard through the begining, when I started to be sucsessful in the world I stoped thinking about using drugs to get away from it.

Peace and Love,
DA Wheeler
