Successful Recovery Starts Here
Recovery from addiction requires a solid commitment to sober living. Anyone who is currently in recovery or just beginning the journey should understand that addiction is a disease. It is not a lack of willpower and self–control but a disease that is lodged in the limbic system of your brain. This part of your brain is responsible for controlling behaviors and impulses, so it can be difficult to break the cycle of addiction. The best way to ensure success in recovery is to have a plan and take action on it. This plan should include regular ongoing therapy, support from family and friends and working with a reputable treatment center or therapist to develop healthier coping skills and ways to manage stress. Developing an aftercare plan and practicing healthy coping skills is essential to maintaining sobriety and reducing the risk of relapse.
