Welcome back J:
What have you tried to change after detox before? By that I mean have you ever participated in any type of formal recovery program like Meetings or outpatient rehab or anything of the sort?
Also - what types of activities do you participate in when you get out of detox - do you just go back to the same places/people that you associated with before going into detox?
For almost all of us, we needed to change a lot of things. We needed to change the places we went, the people we associated with, and the activities we particpated in. Most of us also needed to dedicate part of our day, every single day, to working specifically on our recovery. Simply removing alcohol from our body does not remove our addiction.
