Life After Addiction

There is a Great Life Awaiting You After Addiction!

The thought of life after addiction can be scary

When you’re in the habit of having a glass of liquid courage before your new client meeting or Mother’s Little Helper before the school bus drops the kids off, it’s not easy to let it go. Or perhaps when you and your spouse reunite at the end of the day, sharing a bottle of wine or just a little nightcap drink or three to help you sleep is an important ritual. Or maybe you and your friends have a longstanding tradition of going to the same bar every Friday night – how can you give that up? You can't imagine life after addiction. Drinking alcohol is part of your culture and social life. Could there really be any kind of life after addiction?

Alcohol or Drug Use Has Become the Norm

Thus, the trouble is, you have begun to depend on alcohol, pot, or pills to cope with life. You can’t imagine life after addiction. You aren't used to conducting business or entertaining clients stone-cold sober, or parenting your kids without something to take the edge off. What will you and your spouse talk about if you’re not drinking alcohol or getting high? The hair of the dog on a Saturday morning to cure your hangover is just a small price to pay for last night’s “fun,” if you even consider what you’re doing fun anymore. Yet, at the same time, you’re thinking, I can’t go on like this. There has got to be a better way!

The good news is that there is a better way
