Grateful I went to a meeting 4 hours out of rehab, grateful I called a friend on the way home just to insure I made no stops, super grateful I went to bed sober and CONTENT in that sobriety and not anxious or wanting!

Yep keep the recovery process going. One of the most vulnerable times for a recovering alcoholic is the first few months out of rehab. We like to think we're all better now, I know I did. When were out our own is the time we're truly tested. Keep going, recover from this illness.

Thanks I'm on day 1 at home and I do intensive outpatient tonight and I've spent all day kind of planning a routine like I had in rehab. They emphasized routine as a healthy coping skill for recovery - that and I'm cleaning up the literal wreckage in my room of my last drunk LOL hope you're doing awesome!!

—oh—and Lora, I s t i l l have wine bottles which I never recycled.
There is a room I do not go into; extremely cluttered, my doing…I have to once and for all tackle that. I am convinced that this particular room is a true trigger. Point being : yes, wreckage clearance-comprehending!

I know some people that I went to rehab with thought when they finish they “graduated” and stopped working a program and relapsed. It helped me tremendously to do the IOP program through a local hospital. I continued with NA/AA as much as possible and simply stayed connected to others addicts..

Welcome to freedom. I was so glad to get back to life once I got out. I laid down some ground rules quickly with family and friends.
