Dallas Bragg says quitting the substance was easy, but early recovery left him feeling like a raw nerve. He credits structured meetings and the 90-in-90 routine as anchors, but warns that real recovery means understanding what caused the addiction in the first place.
What I figured out was, you know, getting rid of the substance was the easy part. Because when you get rid of the substance, then you're just a raw nerve. And I do believe that structured weekly, daily meetings like the 90 and 90, they are helpful when you're first getting sober to give you some type of anchor. Some type of structure in that buffering transition. So there is a place for that. But for me, I had to figure out what led me here. That wasn't the substance.
