No matter how dead set you are on staying clean and sober, if you are hanging out with people that are still using, there will eventually be a time when your self-will is not strong enough to keep you away from a drink or a drug.
Ever wondered why your old drinking buddies might be your biggest hurdle in staying sober? Tim Westbrook, host of 'I Love Being Sober', dives into this tricky issue in his latest episode. He tackles the fifth major relapse mistake: hanging out with friends you used to drink or use with. We all crave connection, but when you're on a recovery journey, the stakes are higher.
Tim sheds light on how the people around us can either support our sobriety or tempt us back into old habits. Drawing from personal experience and years of helping others through Camelback Recovery, Tim shares practical advice on how to distance yourself from those who might trigger a relapse.
