First few days are rough. Get to as many meetings as you can and don't give up. Slip ups are normal. Don't beat yourself up if you make mistakes, just get back up and keep going.

I'm only on day 3 and its so hard. Woke up thinking how I could get high today but am actively choosing to be on this app instead of texting my connect. Very hard day today.

Are there any legitimate sponsors for male or females in or on this app*?

Hi all. As they say the newcomer is the most important person in the room. Relapse is part of my story and counting days is courageous. Get to a meeting. There are zoom meetings 24 hours a day. Share at every meeting like your life depends on it… because it does. Get numbers and use them. This all takes practice and feels weird at first. However, openness and honesty will attract many mentors into your life. Recovery is about finding yourself and you will learn so many tools. Just be open and willing. And, remember (it took me a long time to realize this)…. drinking/using won’t actually solve any problem. It just makes it worse. Don’t drink, don’t think & make a meeting!
