30 day recovery challenge

I found this recovery challenge at this website and decided to give it a go. I have never done a blog challenge before but I thought that this one was super relevant to my blog and had some excellent questions. Feel free to do it yourself or to comment your answers beneath my challenge post each day. Since I already have lots of other posts to write today, I wont start the challenge until tomorrow. :)

30 day recovery challenge

---

I made this challenge because I really wanted to do one! However, the only ones I could find were so specific about eating disorders or self harm. So I decided to make one that is really general, so anyone in recovery can do it!

I added questions from assignments I have been given from my addiction counselor. a few questions are inspired by the 12 steps. I also generalized a few questions from other recovery challenges.

this is how it will work: once a day, please answer the question! if any are too personal or you are not comfortable answering, skip it! you can start or stop the challenge at anytime.
