You should be around people who, according to your opinion will support and encourage you in your way to success: your doctor, your family, your best friends, and your therapist. Be with people who will help you during the recovery process and afterward to avoid relapse. Be completely honest with them. If you can’t be one hundred percent honest with them, you won’t do well in recovery. Don’t feel ashamed that you’re doing something about your addiction.
