- 16. Navigating Early RecoveryEarly recovery is hard...SO hard. It's hard for our loved one but also hard on the ones supporting the addict on this new journey. Today we share stories of the early days with our partners. We talk about how recovery must always come first in our partners lives, how new everything is and how we learned to cope in those early days and months. If you are struggling with the early recovery days like we did, please reach out. We are here to support you in any way we can because we've been there.
