I got clean a year ago from a ten year opioid/Benzo addiction. Since getting clean, I realized that I am in a tough place to have many friends. Most of the friends that I had recently are still using, are pissed at me for the things that I did while I was using, or they are so different than me bc they have never battled addiction. That has left me with very few friends. It was really hard in the beginning, especially bc I was very codependent. It has gotten easier as time has gone on, because I realized that I don't need to be surrounded by a ton of people to be happy. Throughout my battle to get sober, I realized that sometimes we just have to give some of those people up to achieve happiness.
