Yesterday, I found out that another of the friends I made in my residential treatment center died from direct results of this terrible disease - that makes 3 in 6 months. I'm struggling with the grief, and with feeling afraid to make new close friends in recovery given the fact that they might relapse. It feels selfish but I also feel a need to protect my mental health.
Anyway, I'd be grateful for any experience, strength, and hope y'all have to share on this challenging subject.
Always a wise suggestion - thank you for the offer, Jon. I'll be hitting one here in NC this morning.
Great. Message me the link or name please when you get a chance
First all Evan M you doing a lot of projection you checking on a lot of energy they don't have nothing to do with you and recovery people die every day if no one told you some addicts have to die so that others could live it is a fact and you need to get over that or you'll be next there's nothing to fear but fear itself you have the disease of addiction you have to live your life in those parameters point blank. Because like they told us in treatment one time you weren't scared to get high so don't be scared to be sober. Sobriety is choices get busy living or get busy dying I don't like all that emotional soft and mushy s*** because it leads to death no thyself know that jails death and institutions is the only ticket you'll get on that ride and with that I digress hold your head up and do what you supposed to do.
