Run to a meeting - AA, NA - as soon as you get out. Within 24 hours. This will give you the support and tools needed to keep the disease arrested. Because, yeah - the disease is just waiting for you to walk out of rehab. But the good news is that love and support are yours for the asking. Go to a meeting and self identify as having just left rehab. People of recovery will line up to welcome and support you.
It’s nothing to be scared of - it’s the beginning of a new way of life. Clean, sober, and full of hope!

I totally get this. I explain it to people that I was like an inside house cat being left outside. I was so uncomfortable. I got to AA early and often. They took care of me.

Amen! I will be on my meetings!
I’m going to be sure to put my sobriety first and use the tools. I appreciate that Star
Congrats on completing your rehab! You have a Big Book? Sponsor? Get them if you don’t. AA has saved my life and is currently showing me a new way to live.

I’m in California. I could sponsor you temporarily until you find one local, just a thought. We could do a zoom meeting tonight. I have a meeting at 3 pm pst… today.
The meeting chair app is a great app to find meetings in your area…
