After 3 days in detox and 6 weeks in rehab I am finally home, and I feel really good. It was a very hard journey but I’m so proud I asked for help and have 48 days clean and sober. I have a lot of work ahead of me but I’m so motivated to have a better life for myself and my son. Thanks to everyone who has sent kind messages on this app or just shared there experience, strength, and hope. We do recover!

Congrats on your decision and the journey you are about to begin! I’ve been to rehab twice and my biggest advice is to focus on yourself and not get into the drama. It can be very high school-ish at times. There’s dumb rules but follow them they all have a reason. And the people there want to help you and have knowledge you are seeking. Soak up everything you can, take notes, journal, advocate for yourself. Addiction is so much more than the substances we use and things can get really hard and you might want to give up but that means you are making progress! Go into it with an open mind and get comfortable being uncomfortable! Also on a practical note bring more than you think, my rehab was on lockdown do to Covid so no visitors or leaving like we could last time so I had to work with what I brought!

If you ever need to talk or anything I’m here! Not sure if you will have your phone my rehab allowed them, but set yourself up for success, remember why you are there and come up with a really solid aftercare/ discharge plan!
Thanks Emily, I isolate a lot. I know it’s not healthy.
45 days for me today! Great job!
My daughter/son-law kids now live in Norfolk. How’s sobriety there?
