Early on, I immersed myself in recovery -- I read here and posted, I chatted online with others in recovery, I read books, I began running and training for races, I learned weight lifting, I took extra vitamins (especially Bs), I went to some meetings (AA and WFS), and I finished my 20-day IOP program and went to aftercare for about two years, did therapy for a while, volunteered at the women's shelter, and so on.
My life is nothing like that now. I feel 'recovered' yet vigilant. SR is my main source of recovery interaction, inspiration, and a way of giving back. Also serves as a guiding path and a grim reminder of where I can no longer tread if I want a good life.
