Who can support me through recovering from my addiction?

Your biggest support system will no doubt be yourself. From there, you need a strong foundation of people who want the best for you. That could be family, friends, coworkers, trusted adults. AA and NA meetings are full of people who all want the same goals, to recover from being an addict and keep up positive results.

I will share my personal experience - it was other recovering addicts who helped me most. Not my family or friends, because addiction is difficult to understand if you are not afflicted. Support groups such as Narcotics Anonymous or SMART Recovery are certainly something to look into.

primarily yourself. If you ask questions about who you are and the why of the addiction, and journal (writing it down" a new picture can show up. Also, the support of those that are done with it, but don't judge or try to run your life. That is their agenda, You go about it as what you understand to help yourself. This can be a self empowering, process rather than become reliant on someone elses beliefs or an organization.

A lot of friends and family members, but most importantly, youself! Be your #1 supporter and you'll not only recover from your addiction, you'll accomplish way more. P.s you got my support, I believe in you :)

Family, friends, a dog, someone you are able to trust and who gives you strength. As long as they pull you away and not towards the addiction they will be able to help.

Doctors, group support, family, friends. Your doctor will put you in touch with counsellors who will be support you. Rehab is also an option. There you will be given 24/7 support. There are also helplines & websites available to you. And of course, there are always listeners here at 7 cups ready to be there for you. Good luck!

It can be anyone really. If you are in a 12-step program, you get support through the meetings, as well as getting a sponsor who will help you and support you. Work the steps! If you do the work, it will work for you. If you have family members who are willing to help, then by all means, let them. Same for friends/relationships. If you have faith in whatever power (God, Buddha, Jehovah, Mother Earth, etc) you can rely on that as well. Having a spiritual connection to something can often times be of great comfort. You can seek help from outpatient addiction programs as well. They will see you on a daily/weekly basis and check in with you to see how you are doing. They will also give you mental health support, because an addiction stems from somewhere in the past and those issues need to be addressed. You can also come here and post whenever you want. We are here to listen 24/7.

Family, friends, therapists, drug and alcohol counselors, and rehabilitation centers can also help in your recovery.

7cups are here for you. Although, do be dependent on others, in the end, it is only you who can keep clean no matter how much support you get.
