Some of us younger addicts feel a different sort of isolation because of our age. Being young in recovery is not easy, but it is 100% worth it. We are not alone. We have a chair in the rooms of recovery no matter the drugs we used, no matter the length of time we used, no matter how deep our bottom was.
In this episode, I share parts of my story and stories from other young addicts (published in NA literature).

Recovery doesn't guarantee that we won't still come across struggles and hard times in our lives... we have to learn how to get through them differently than we did in our addiction. In this episode, I talk about different common struggles in recovery and how I have gotten through them.
