Scenario

When siblings support each other through different physical withdrawal experiences

My brother and I are both trying to get clean from opioids and we're doing it together for support, but we're experiencing withdrawal completely differently - he gets violently sick, I get severe depression and brain fog - and we keep trying to help each other in ways that don't actually work because our bodies are reacting so differently.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people in recovery together are struggling to provide mutual support when their physical experiences of withdrawal and healing are drastically different.
