I learned very early on in recovery that those who stayed sober had changed everything; people, places, things, and crucially themselves too one day at a time. For me I couldn’t be around people who drank or took drugs when I was getting sober, after a while I had no interest in those type of people any way.
For me I had to and will always put my sobriety and recovery no1 priority in my life as without it I don’t have a life worth living anyway.
