Life can sometimes present us with challenges of different types.
We may be going through loneliness, financial insecurity or impulsive urges as we try to maintain our recovery goals. Or we may be suffering from general insomnia, anxiety or depression. We can struggle to adapt to our environment if we are neurodivergent, or we simply notice that personal relationships don’t seem to come easy to us.
