I think what stops me is because when you get home from being in treatment for so long, it's just not the same being with those friends again, even if you've known them for like years, because at some point you connected with them over drugs, and connecting with people over drugs is a lot easier than connecting with people sober, no matter how extroverted you are.
How do you talk to your friends about your recovery when they might not be on the same path? This episode of 'Young & Recovering' tackles this tough question head-on. Guest host Kelly Solli from Youth to Youth International sits down with Jillian and Kyle, students at Heartland Recovery High School, to share their experiences and insights. They dive into the challenges of discussing sobriety with friends who aren't drug-free and the importance of setting clear boundaries.
Jillian and Kyle's stories offer a raw and relatable look at navigating these tricky conversations. They emphasize the need for direct communication, the benefits of finding new sober friends, and the importance of picking up new hobbies. The relaxed and informal tone of the podcast makes it feel like you're chatting with old friends, making this episode a must-listen for any teen grappling with similar issues.
Whether you're in recovery or supporting someone who is, you'll find valuable advice and heartfelt stories that resonate.
