In early recovery after my 28 day rehab
instay program there was a 6 week aftercare
program added on before completing that
leg of my recovery. After that I went to many
many meetings for myself and as I needed
them.
I did whatever I needed to do to hang
on at times by the skin of my teeth so
to speak because I was restless, irritable
and discontent.
My family thought I spent to much
time going to meetings but I never slacked
off my motherly or wifely obligations. I
went to my meetings for me and my own
sanity, peace of mind.
It was the one place that I felt comfortable,
a part of something awesome. The fellowship
of many who never without a doubt had to
question me because they all knew who
and what I was because many of us had been
there done the same similar things in life
as I.
If I couldn't make meetings I had SR as my
lifeline to recovery. I also have my Faith and
all the tools and knowledge of my recovery
program to use in all areas of my life to draw
on.
