Drug use and alcoholism ruins the lives of your loved
ones. Even if your spouse or partner chooses not to leave, you simply owe it to
your family to do better. By taking the initiative to prove your willingness to
change, you’ll have a happier future to look forward to.
Enroll in Classes
Completing an online
drug and alcohol course will show your commitment to making a change - and
since you can take the classes online, you won’t have to worry about missing
work or rearranging your schedule. By the end of the course, you’ll have a personalized
certificate of completion to prove you’re taking the steps to get better.
Sign Up for Therapy
Therapists who specialize in addiction recovery can often
help people set empowering short-term goals as they work to overcome their
addiction. Your loved one may prove more forgiving when she hears you’ve been
attending sessions to save your relationship.
Evaluate Your Inner Circle
If you have friends or other family members who partake
in drugs and alcohol, the pressure to join can be troubling. However, if your
friends never called you out when your behavior became dangerous (or even
pushed you to use more), they are likely contributing to your addiction. Real
friends will support your decision to create a healthy, productive and sober
lifestyle - even if it isn’t a choice they are ready to make for themselves
right now.
