I have a friend who is struggling maintaining her sobriety. She says it's tough to achieve a life balance.
Struggling with addiction is so hard you're a good person for listening to her. Is it drugs or alcohol?
Thank you. It's alcohol. She spent some time in a treatment setting to get started on the path to sobriety, but now that she's out, she's having a tough time.
Let her know you'll be there for her during thoughts of relapse. Is she attending AA classes? I know those help a lot.
She isn't, but I'll definitely pass on the suggestion! She said the first physical effects of withdrawal were tough, but the second stage, PAWS, might be worse!
