Serenity Restored: A Couples' Retreat for Recovery and Reconnection

Healing Relationships Affected by Addiction: A Journey to Renewed Connection

Addiction can wreak havoc on relationships in the entire family system, leaving behind a trail of broken trust, emotional scars, and fractured connections. Yet, the journey towards sobriety for one or more individuals within the family often marks a pivotal moment for their spouse or other individuals within the family —a chance at healing, rebuilding, and fostering a new, healthier bond.

Addiction Affects the Entire Family

Addiction is a family disease. There may be one individual who suffers from alcoholism or other form of addiction, yet the entire family suffers. This often creates discord in relationships within the family, such as in the marriage of the addict's parents or siblings. One or more family members may be described as codependent, always concerned about others, trying to fix family problems and control the uncontrollable. This dynamic often creates disharmony and conflict. Regardless of whether the addict in the family gets help and starts living a new life of sobriety in recovery, the broken family relationships often remain fractured, also in need of help.

Early recovery can be a tumultuous period

Early recovery can be a tumultuous period for couples who have weathered the storms of addiction together. The aftermath of addiction can linger, leaving behind unresolved conflicts, damaged communication, and a lack of trust. However, embarking on the path of recovery opens up the possibility of healing these wounds and forging a stronger, more authentic relationship.

One of the most significant challenges in early recovery is navigating the remnants of past relationship difficulties exacerbated by addiction. This period demands immense patience, understanding, and dedication from both partners as they embark on a joint journey toward healing.

A haven for healing and transformation

Serenity Vista, a haven for healing and transformation, offers a specialized one-week intensive couple healing retreat. This retreat is meticulously designed to cater to both individuals' needs while also addressing the collective dynamics of the relationship.

This couples intensive retreat is for any couple affected by addiction, either within their relationship, or another loved one in the family system. For example, one partner within a relationship has achieved sobriety from addiction, and now the couple is having difficulty adjusting to changes in their relationship. Or, one or both partners of a couple may have a loved one, a parent, child or sibling, with a history of or active addiction, resulting in stress within the relationship. Some may idientify as being codependent. Any couple affected by addiction within the family, who wish to improve their relationship, is welcome.
