Many of us who have struggled withy addiction or co dependency have tried to do it on our own but most if not all of us have failed miserably! Many of us are ashamed to come out of hiding and our experience with talking with others has been disastrous as people just don’t understand and tend to be so judgemental. However if you find the right people, those who understand, those who have struggled with the same struggles with mental health challenges and addictions you will be amazed at how well they do understand! Community is such a big part of recovery and it works!
