Newly sober, got some questions
Yo, sober recovery
So I'm 18 and just quit heroin and got put on a suboxone program. My addiction destroyed my life, I lost my girl, my job and stole from my family and burglarized several homes. I've dealt with addiction since I was 13 and been to 6 inpatients. Im living with my parents now who have been incredibly supportive. My question is where do I go from here? I'm working with an addiction doctor who prescribed the suboxone, which seems to help a great deal. But what other resources do you guys suggest?
Thanks,
Lukah

Someone younger than me~ Finally :P
Maybe see a drug/alcohol counsellor or a psychologist. Doctors are great for the medical side of things but don't offer much in the way of support or counselling. Do you have anything like that accessible to you? These services are usually free where I am.
