It does get easier Kara, but we have to work at it first.
We have to want it bad enough to do what is necessary.
When you take something out of your life, that takes up as much space as addiction, it leaves a gaping hole for us to fill. That can be overwhelming to deal with.
That is why we need a support group, to help fill up that space in our lives.
If you aren't yet involved in AA or NA, I strongly urge you to get out there and get connected to a support group. You're gonna need to have some friends that have the same goal of recovery, an addict alone is in bad company.
