It is encouraging to see how someone can transform from being an addict to someone better in the society. Building a network and support group to effectively manage your addiction can help you become a better man or woman in this life. Below is a list of seven benefits of being part of this type of a group.
You are able to open up and share what exactly is bothering you. You will find it easy to tell the people in the gathering about your story, what made you become an addict. Apart from being able to know what damage being an addict has caused you so far, you will be able to do a self-assessment and probably agree that it was not worth being an addict in the first place.
Once you open up, it should be easy to explain to the members of the group what exactly the problem is. For instance, you could be an alcohol addict because you think that drinking too much is the only solution to relieve stress in your life or you may argue too much with someone you love because you think that that is the only way to solve a problem at hand. Identifying your problem early enough will help you in the next step of knowing your craving.
Being among and talking to people in the support group is the only way to know and manage cravings that makes you addicted to bad habits. You are able to know the reasons why you are craving for something and in addition, understand why you are finding it difficult to let go. You may need to take a pen and write these down so that your group can help you analyze each and help you accordingly.
The best thing about being in a group is that you will meet with individuals who have been through the same situation as you. You are more likely to hear stories like yours and other worse effects and dangers than what you have been through yourself. When you hear how persons who have been through the same situation struggled, perhaps worse than you are, you will begin to see the real reason why you need to change.
Once you listen to people who have stories similar to yours, you will be able to develop a desire for a change. When you desire to change, it means that you have made the decision that you do not want to be an addict anymore. You have made a decision that you want to become a better person in the society, someone who is better than who you were.
People in the support group will help you create new habits that will be of help from time to time. You will have a list of healthy alternatives that you can use to manage your addiction. Because the list will be long, it will be up to you to structure them in a way that will be easy for you to follow them from time to time.
You now have a new life. However, coping alone can really be hard. Stick with the members until you are sure you are okay.
