Dallas Bragg warns that stopping meth use because of a relationship sets you up to relapse when it ends. A partner isn't recovery. Use your sober time to address the trauma underneath the addiction, not just the drug itself.
This is for you guys who were meth addicts and then got into a relationship and stopped using. I get a huge amount of messages from guys who have relapsed after the relationship fell apart. What this is telling me is that the relationship is just a placeholder and you stopped doing the work in recovery. Just because you stopped doing the substance does not mean you're in recovery. Just because you're in it, what you think a healthy relationship is, Doesn't mean the addiction patterns and the cycles are all gone. They're just put on hold. I'm not saying that you have to assume the relationship is going to deteriorate, but I'm just saying have a plan for when and if it does. But not only that, is that you want to use this opportunity where meth is out of the picture to really go in and resolve the pain and the trauma that caused you to get into meth in the first place. If this interests you, comment or DM the word coaching, and I'll get some information about my one-on-one coaching, and I'll walk you through the process.
