It’s great to be excited for your loved one’s recovery. Who doesn’t want to see the people you care about heal and start a new chapter in their life?Addiction at the surface may seem like the root of all the turmoil and problems, however, it is only a symptom of something deeper or past trauma.
Be aware that even though someone may be getting treatment or be on a path of sobriety, they can still have other behavioral habits that aren’t healthy.
Changes will take time.
Keep your expectations based on where your friend or family member is currently at and don’t expect them to change overnight.
