RECOVERY
Facing challenges caused by addiction in a relationship requires repairing the relationship together and identifying coping styles. Couples can move beyond their crisis and build a flourishing relationship free from the influence of substances.

IS ADDICTION RUINING
YOUR RELATIONSHIP?
RECOVER YOURSELF. RECOVER YOUR RELATIONSHIP
When one partner (or both) is engaging in substance overuse or an addictive behaviour, it creates unique challenges for couples to overcome. For a couple to heal, it's about the relationship being repaired, not just for one person to manage a compulsive habit (although that is also part of the process.)
A relationship develops coping styles around dysfunctional behaviours, and identifying how each partner copes is an important aspect of a couple being able to move beyond the crisis that they are experiencing.
The good news is that it is possible to move forward and begin to experience a flourishing relationship, where addiction does not have a controlling role in the story.
