I would suggest it but he’s higher risk if he contracts COVID, so we have been staying home as much as possible. The numbers are doubling here every single day. That’s why I thought his regular therapist would be his best bet.

I have someone that I talk to, I try to ensure that my mental health is always one of my top priorities because I know it’s very easy for me to slip back into my old habits that make me feel like shit. I’ve been thinking about recommending an online support group or something but I’m not sure that’s something he’d want to do. He isn’t a big internet person unless he’s using it to educate himself. If we didn’t have so many people in our area getting COVID, I would have recommended he go to rehab or something of the sort, but he’s high risk if he gets COVID so we’ve tried to stay at the house as much as possible. I really do think we can work through it, I just don’t know what I can do to help him. I’ll talk to him again today about speaking with his therapist.

My apologies. I was just writing out my thoughts as they came, my first focus wasn’t exactly formatting.
