My best friend has been sober for six months but their body is still recovering and they're dealing with chronic fatigue and weird sleep patterns, and I want to be supportive but I keep suggesting activities they can't handle physically. We used to have this active friendship and now I feel like I'm always suggesting the wrong things, and they're too tired to explain what they actually need from me.
More people experience this than they realize.
A friendship is struggling to adapt to the ongoing physical limitations and needs that come with addiction recovery.
