Sometimes, the BEST thing for recovering addicts is to get away from all their old friends and even family who were part of their life in addiction; who somehow fed into the problem. Some people are well-meaning, but are still mean. Some people are self-righteous, but mean in trying to "correct" you.

Know yourself and what it is you need to be healthy and whole, that's my best advice...sometimes you need to be alone to really "know" yourself; know your LIMITS, know what really feeds you with "good food"; know what helps you grow in the right direction, know what HINDERS you from making good progress; know what's healthy and what's not; know what you need to really HEAL and what is just a "band-aide".
