While it is easy to find comfort in the company of others, there
is something to be said for time alone. In the beginning of our sobriety before
we go to Above It All
Treatment Center, AA, or alcohol centers we may find it easy to latch on to the nearest
circle of sober friends. Don’t be mistaken having a social circle is a great
idea, however, is important that
we still find time to do the things necessary to keep healthy boundaries and
maintain a healthy lifestyle. Whether it is in relationships or friendships it
is important to construct healthy limits.
Much like drinking every day hanging
out with someone on a daily basis to the point of forgetting our obligations is
never good. The good news is now that when you stay sober you are given the ability
to see these situations more quickly and clearly. With the tools in this
program you are able to decipher between healthy and unhealthy behavior. If you
know you have a deadline at work then instead of spending hours at the mall
with your friends in order to distract yourself you can set aside a time
to spend while still showing up for your obligations.
It is all about finding a
healthy balance in our daily lives. Once
we have gone through detox and gotten sober we are able to look for
that healthy balance that we have been seeking out for most of our lives but
until now have not be able to achieve.
