Thanx for the good mornings!! Hello Pilgrim!!! I followed some of your threads when I first got on here a few days ago,but didnt jump in--Sounds like things are much better!--IOP is Intensive Outpatient Recovery-several hours a week of meeting/fellowship/education--I am currently crawling out of a devastating relapse
God Bless!!!

Hi Shaw,

Congratulations on taking the steps.

I'm also in IOP, I'm in my 3rd week, next week is my last week. I do feel it is really helping me but as I'm getting close to the end I'm feeling sad and out of sorts. I'm going to increase the meetings I attend to make up for the 3 nights that I won't be in OP.
I'm getting nervous to be on my own again.

Are you going to AA or NA meetings also?
