Been trying to get out of this phase! Just pretty hard when everyone around you doesn't believe that your healthy or happy even when you know that your just winning in life. Thank you for this article btw!

That can be so frustrating - the dissonance between how you feel VS how other people perceive you or expect. Keep pushing forward, it is so worth it <3

This! It's such an overlooked period of recovery. Support in the final stages is absolutely vital to reduce the risk of relapse, in my opinion.

So true! As relapse risk is the highest the year after recovery, I wonder how many relapses could have been prevented by more follow up and a softer transition from being 'in treatment' to 'discharged'.
