Families in recovery

FAMILIES IN RECOVERY

Early recovery from addiction can be as stressful for family members as for a woman in recovery. Addiction profoundly affects the whole family. As the family and the recovering woman rebound from the addiction and search for what is normal, many feelings can be expected. Family members have shared with us their mixed feelings during this time: optimism, worry, resentfulness, anger, relief and fear.

Early recovery (12-18 months) can be a very difficult time as the family learns and practices new tools in communication, boundaries, self-care, forgiveness and regaining trust. This takes time. Giving each other the time and space to learn, practice, make mistakes, and regain trust is very important.

Remember that you, as a family member, can only control yourself. This is where your energy needs to be focused…on you! Take it slowly, don’t make your goals too high, you are also in early recovery and will need some time to adjust. Maybe your goals could be to practice self-care, seek counseling, attend Al-Anon weekly, attend the family education classes or family support group at Residence XII, or read a book about families in recovery.
