the first 2 months is pretty well guaranteed to be a nightmare. after that it should start getting better. but it depends heavily on the effort you put in. for my first 6 months i treated my recovery as a full time job. i was going to NA meetings (did more than 90 in 90), courses at the drugs services, therapy, weekly key worker meetings, gym, all day every day. it was fucking exhausting but over 2 years later i have a decent job, a holiday booked and paid for when i can leave the country, and am hoping to buy a house this year (i did have one before but i had to sell it to pay my parents back for rehab and i still owe them £40k).
before i went to rehab i thought i was done, i was just waiting to die really, i thought i'd never leave the country again, couldn't imagine being able to do a real job again, and was so fucking bored of being around other addicts and 'the life' in general.
