How can I fix my relationship after getting clean

Pretty much all recovering go through this. It takes a long time to restore trust. Usually, friends and family have heard it all before, so it's better not to shout from the rooftops that you're clean now (do mention it in conversation if it comes up however).

In early recovery we want to fix everything quickly, and although this intention is a sincere one at the time, it's better to wait a while. Your actions will speak louder than words, and friends and family will notice the change in you after weeks, months, years even. Also note that you'll be surprised which relationships are salvageable, and which ones aren't. It's often not who you expect.

A recovery program is designed to help you on the path to making amends. However it's specifically stated not to rush into it. I have a love-hate relationship with NA but I can't deny that good things have come into my life because of it and I like the people in my circle. Check out SMART Recovery too, and there are lots of others.
