It can sometimes feel like a shock to the system when you get sober. You may feel sad, guilty, angry, or ashamed but know that you are not alone. Life looks and feels very different than it did before.
Deciding to recover is a huge step forward but remember that a successful recovery takes time. Your life may feel different, like it’s never going to be the same again, but that’s probably a positive thing. We recommend that you don’t give up because getting free from addiction or support for your mental health is absolutely worth it.
