New to online recovery communities
Hello everyone,
I'm a recovering addict and alcoholic. I'm new to the online stuff. My therapist has been suggesting I reach out to others and find a community and find supports. I'm 32 I've struggled with addiction most of my life I've been abusing substances since age 13 i went from drinking and taking any pills I could get my hands on to shooting heroin later on in my 20s and 30s. I'm currently on methadone and haven't touched heroin in over a year now.
Things have been tough lately especially with the way things are in the world right now. I don't have many supports outside of therapy and I have been having urges and using positive coping skills to keep myself from acting on the urges, but lately its been very hard.
