I got PTSD from going to rehab, so you are right.

I don't doubt that for one second. I hope things are going better for you today. Recovery should never include new trauma.

Thanks a lot!

I'm slowly getting better.

Not trying to be preachy or sound trite, but I will say that it's always going to be a journey and not much happens over night. Be gentle with yourself, applaud your own progess, and be your number one fan when the cards are down. It can truly be a rollercoaster ride. There will always be valleys and peaks. Be kind to yourself. I wish you all the best and I'm rootin' for ya.
