We are blessed in our day to have many resources we can use to help us find recovery from addiction. One thing I have learned is that I can't manage my sobriety without help from others. I have used tools such as counseling, support groups, and medical professionals to assist me. There is no shame in reaching out for help! It's often the first step that one must take to find the path of recovery.
