What to expect in your first year of sobriety
Staying clean and sober is hard. Many challenges to face. The first year is the hardest. This is different for everyone. Just an idea of what to expect.
For those of us addicts out there we know what a struggle it can be to get sober. For many of us getting sober is kind of easy. We can stay clean for a day, or a week. The problem is staying sober is the hardest.
I have been sober for 11 years. I have very bad back problems which the doctors only kept masking with pain medication. After years of begging for something to get done, it never did, and I became addicted. Just like many others around the world.
I have noticed that many people around my age are addicted to pain medication. That’s if they didn’t end up going to stronger drugs in time. I think that was the time when the doctor handed pain medicine out like it was candy. They didn’t care. Even if they did not know the patient would get addicted. Should have still thought of that patient's health and the risk the pain medication was doing to the body. They didn’t care though. They made so much money from the drug manufacturers, that made they turn a blind eye to help.
When you are able to finally become sober, that first year is going to be the hardest. That is true. The struggle to stay sober is going to be very hard. Get help if you…
