Probation Officer Speaks Out On Addiction
Testimonial: Hi, my name is James, I'm 26, and I'm 17 months clean and sober
When Susan asked for testimonials I was happy to supply one. What I really like about virtual recovery and our community is that other members encouraged me when I was 'new to sobriety' to view recovery as a positive experience, where shared hope, mutual support, and fellowship was on the menu. Our group is socially interactive. It feels great to laugh, smile, and connect with others who are on the same path as I am.
For me, it's vidal that I can connect with others, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, as my schedule is very busy. I'm in my first year of college, and I plan to become a Social Worker. Today, I view recovery as a lifestyle choice, worthy of embracing. For the first time, in a long time, I truly like myself again.

Navigating People, Places, and Things in Early Recovery
The early days of recovery can be both exciting and challenging as you adjust to a new way of life. One of the biggest challenges many of us faced during this time was navigating the people, places, and things that might trigger cravings to use and lead to a possible setback in our recovery.
Our #1 sobriety tip to anyone new in recovery is to avoid spending time with people who may encourage you to drink or use drugs or socializing at risky places like bars, neighborhood parties (where the drinks are flowing) or casinos. Instead, surround yourself with supportive friends, peers, and family members who understand your commitment to sobriety, and remember you can always reach out to us for extra support.
Recovery is a journey and it's okay to ask for help when you need it. Stay strong, stay sober, and congratulations again on this important step in your life.
