Overview
The early days of recovery can be overwhelmingly lonely. But this is the time you need friends most. New Life, New Friends is a unique and practical guide to cultivating supportive relationships. Drawing on the words and experiences of many people in recovery, it shows how to:
• Find people who share your commitment to personal change and growth
• Cope with self-consciousness and low self-esteem
• Choose a sponsor and make the most of your Twelve Step group
• Establish boundaries and “ground rules” to keep relationships on track
• Handle work or social situations where drinks, drugs, or unhealthy foods are available
• Learn to ask for what you need—and to say no when necessary
• Deal with family anger, guilt, or rejection
• Develop the most important friendship of your life—with yourself
