If I'm lonely, I'm going to meet somebody who probably is pretty lonely too...I would say most likely none of them.
When you're on the path to recovery, romantic relationships can feel like a lifeline. But are they really helping or just another form of addiction? In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, host Tom Conrad sits down with Paige, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addictions Professional, to tackle this tricky subject. Paige brings her professional insights to the table, shedding light on why love can be both a boon and a bane during recovery.
While the allure of romance might give you a sense of strength and comfort, it can also become a substitute for your previous addictions, potentially derailing your progress. At the core of this discussion is the importance of self-love and personal identity. Paige stresses that these must be nurtured independently to truly maintain sobriety. Therapy can play a crucial role in helping you understand your relationship patterns and what you genuinely seek in a partner.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the complexities of love while navigating their recovery journey. Tune in to gain valuable perspectives and practical advice on how to balance romance and recovery.
