Working in the same rehab center/treatment program you went through yourself is a weird dichotomy. While you get to see new people improve and succeed, seeing others who were your brothers in the program fall and come back through is a real downer for both parties. People you knew as capable, happy people are just...shells of their former selves. And the ratio is...not great. I know statistically, that's what's bound to happen, and yet still it sucks.
I've been trying to help out and give back to what saved me, but it's a price that may be too high until I get a longer period of sobriety under my belt, or maybe just enough time where the people coming in are less likely to be friends.
