Avoid frequenting locations where you bought or used drugs. Keep yourself away from past social circles (addicted friends, former drug dealers, etc.). Surround yourself with supportive friends and family members. Attend recovery meetings. PEER PRESSURE
While peer pressure is often associated with teens, it happens to adults, too. Avoid social situations where you know drugs and alcohol will be present. Being around people who do not understand the complexities of recovery may pressure you to have just one drink, which could put you at risk for a relapse.
Overcoming substance addiction is not an easy feat, and most often, those who are ready to make changes, need a support system that will encourage them to continue the recovery course. If you or a loved one struggle with addiction or is on the verge of a relapse, we can help.
