The Importance Of Building A Network And Support Group To Effectively Manage Your Addiction

By Linda Ruiz


You already know how much damage being an addict does to you, so once you have the desire to change, let nothing make you change your mind. Building a network and support group to effectively manage your addiction is important because it will help take your through the process of transformation with ease. Below is a list of some of the benefits such a group.

You are able to open up and share what exactly is bothering you. You will find it easy to tell the people in the gathering about your story, what made you become an addict. Apart from being able to know what damage being an addict has caused you so far, you will be able to do a self-assessment and probably agree that it was not worth being an addict in the first place.

As soon as you open up, you will begin to identify the problem within you. You will be able to understand why you are living a life that is completely different from what it once was. Everything starts to be clear and you begin to know why you got yourself in the current situation. For instance, if you addicted to arguing, the source might have been the pleasure you get from teasing someone or you simply enjoy causing others pain.

There is always someone available to help you identify cravings that makes you addicted. You will be able to know the real reason behind why you are an addict. You will be able to find out why you cannot let go of that habit even if you want to let go and become a better person. You will be able to list all your cravings easily and know how much damage they do to you from time to time.

The best thing about being in a group is that you will meet with individuals who have been through the same situation as you. You are more likely to hear stories like yours and other worse effects and dangers than what you have been through yourself. When you hear how persons who have been through the same situation struggled, perhaps worse than you are, you will begin to see the real reason why you need to change.

When you listen to people share their stories, you will develop an interest to know how exactly they changed. You will begin to develop the desire to change, the desire to quit the bad habit, the desire to become a better you. Make sure you stick in the group, as this is where you can hear more testimonials; know what people went through and how they manage to transform.

You are able to find unlimited alternatives to addiction. People in the group will help you create a list of activities you can engage in, especially at the time you feel like going back to the same habit. This will help you recover from addiction with ease.

You now have a new life. However, coping alone can really be hard. Stick with the members until you are sure you are okay.
