My advice is to realize that it takes time. We always want to speed the process but that is extremely dangerous. My biggest tip is to take it slow and don't do relationships for the first year. For us on you. Get into therapy. Go to meetings and see a psychiatrist if needed. The first few months and first year s the hardest. You're going to feel everything on a thousand and you have to just hold tight and continue to find things you like to do. But as of right now, sit back and give yourself a break and time to adjust. The chemicals have barely left your system. Keep busy with productive things and journal when your well enough to. Random thought journals are great. You just wrote or type whatever comes to your mind at that point of writing. It doesn't have to make sense and probably won't. But it's the releasing of thoughts and feelings. And please people places and things change now! Change of ideas come to follow later. Good luck on your journey and if you need anything feel free to message.

One thing that helps me is to never allow it to be an OPTION. Cause as soon as I start thinking, “should I?”, it’s all over. Avoid being near anyone who might be using. Congrats on your clean time.
