These three words are the three most important things people need to think about when getting sober. It is highly recommended against to hang out with the same people you used to use with or live in the same areas you were using in. In my case, I was attending the University of Arizona getting high every single day. I loved college there but just couldn't manage with my addiction. I would love nothing more than to head back to school there. But coming up on 7 months sober, I still do not feel that even with some time put together I could go back there without using. All I have in my recovery is today. And things could be going real well and I may be able to resist the partying at Arizona for a while. But they say, "if you hang around a barber shop long enough, your gonna get a haircut."
So I decided to relocate myself down to South Florida where there is unbelievable recovery. The Delray Beach/Boca Raton area has amazing people who always welcome you with open arms. I am grateful to say I have multiple people I can call at anytime of the day to turn to for support when a struggle comes up.
