Hey Fitz!
I had to get a network of friends in recovery and fast! I stayed close to people that I felt really wanted to stay sober. The begining is the hardest part they say getting sober is so much harder than staying sober and it has prooved true so far. I checked in daily with a sponcor.
So far the biggest thing I have learned in sobriety is how our thinking is so totally off and spiritually sick, otherwise we wouldn't be thinking of numbing out. We don't know how to do anything alone in the begining. Don't feel bad about asking for help with everything! You are learning how to reprogram your brain. You are on the right path! Keep it up and come here often posting and on chat! Hugs!
