In early recovery I needed to stay away old using buddy's. As for my good friends I needed to tell them I was abstaining from all drugs and could use their support. That included not giving my ant dope or being high around me. I found a good friend will respect my wishes.

Having some support be it friends, family, self-help meetings or professional help was the way to go I found. Also having a recovery tool box (a set of skills for healthy living) made recovering from addiction much easier.

I have to do what is needed to live free from drugs. But I needed to know what to do first. I suggest investigate all the various recovery methods to find whats right for you as no one way to recover is appropriate for every one. A painful lesson I found out first hand that one one recovery way is the right way for all.
