For me, the main reason why it took so long is because I didn't want to leave my peers because I was having fun with them. The house was having fun. We were doing the things necessary to have a fun recovery. Fun? Recovery? Yeah. Those are two words that people don't always put together. For me, that's what I based my recovery around is fun. Because I believe if you're not having fun in your recovery, you're not recovering. You're not happy.
