Addiction Relapse Prevention - Top 10 Tips To Save Your Life
By Dusty Lindemann
Are you suffering from the disease of addiction? Want some advice from people who have successfully entered long term recovery? Follow these tips below:
1. Change your friends – Unfortunately, the very root of our addiction problems sometimes lie within our circle of friends. Are there any particular friends you consistently hang out with that lead you into substance abuse? It’s time to reassess what a friend really means to you and the kind of friends you should hang out with to lead a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes this means changing your phone number and moving to sever negative relationships. This can be hard but in the end, it may save your life.
2. Change your environment – Just as you should review your friendships, you should also think about the places you go to hang out. Maybe it’s a nightclub, or a ballgame where they serve beer. Or perhaps it is a certain part of town you have frequented that makes you feel temptation. If these places cause you to relapse, you should avoid them at all costs. This might mean staying at home or visiting constructive environments instead like a museum.
