Think of it this way: If you entered the recovery process and you had around you people who were emotionally manipulative, angry, crazy-making, and/or abusive, your chances of progressing would be diminished. It is imperative that you place yourself in an environment that is Loving and supportive to your well-being. Caring companions are your biggest advantage at this phase of recovery. Whether professional caregivers or family and friends, those who you are choosing to be with can make all the difference in your recovery.
