Dr. Patrick J. Carnes put together a Recovery Start Kit with everything you need for the first 130 days of your sobriety. According to studies, the first four months of recovery are critical for laying the groundwork for future success. You can get back on track with your recovery and your positive sexual outlook with the help of the tools included in the Recovery Start Kit. There are three distinct stages to this program. The first stage (40-Day Focus) is geared toward getting sober for the first time. Phase two (called "90-Day Prep") is all about getting ready for that initial time period. The third stage (90-Day Focus) provides structure for lasting transformation on the levels of self, behavior, and the brain. The Recovery Start Kit is meant to be used in conjunction with professional help from a therapist with expertise in sexual addiction.
