*Real Women Telling their Real Stories in 12…. Questions (not Steps)
Hello my recovery warriors (I call you all my recovery warriors because if you are reading this blog you are taking the first step), we are starting a new feature to the Women’s Treatment Program (Sobriety Diva’s playground) blog where REAL women can tell their stories to other REAL women so we can find a REAL solution to this REAL problem.
I am very lucky to introduce you to our first Recovery Warrior, Joanne M. Painton. Well actually I will let her introduce herself.

Upon leaving a treatment facility for drug and alcohol addiction I think that is very helpful to attend a halfway house. A halfway house provided me with the slow transition that I needed in order to be successful with recovery on my own. I learned how to keep a daily routine and especially how to have down time without the use of drugs and alcohol.
It is essential to find balance in recovery. During the early stages of recovery from drugs and alcohol addiction there is such a thing as overkill as far as recovery related activities go. Balancing recovery with other activities is essential in order to avoid burnout.
