Brandon – First, I’m delighted to hear that you are in treatment and I encourage you to make relationships in the recovery community. Go to meetings, meet other people walking your path. See if you can barter with one of them for a room to stay in in exchange for some service you could provide maintaining the apartment or home. Look for those types of solutions. Your family may need to see you in sustained recovery for some period of time to start to rebuild trust because this disease is so hard on the person with the addiction but also terribly hard on the families. I hope you can find the support you need in the recovery community and that at some point you will be able to demonstrate to your family that you are the Brandon they want back. Demonstrate that by doing for them instead of asking from them. Keep on the recovery path. 6 months is GREAT! -B
