and breaking random shit
Oh, that's, huh.
Like just bottles, or expensive and sentimental shit?Lol, im not bringing a TV or my laptop in here until he stops breaking shit when we argue about something he is too heated about he's doing better but hasnt completely stopped yet
most of it has been things that I didnt care about and none of it was my possessions a couple were things I liked that he smashed on the floor or across the room but those things still work luckily
I thought we was just being careless but he's actually breaking things out of anger?
He's effectively throwing tantrums like a child would, red flags,
He is trying to fight off his urge to do more uppers though, isn't he?
It could be a part of the recovery.
I second that. Throwing tantrums when trying to get clean is pretty much expected. It might be about something else but, in reality it’s about the drug of choice, And the difficulty of learning to live without it
he could probably benefit from a recovery community, I know some great ones in Florida if y’all ever choose to move. But if he’s really serious about it I can connect him with professionals who for free will connect him with places that offer help for individuals trying to lead a recovered relapse free life
Half of recovery is just relapse prevention and if he doesn’t have a plan or a support group in place, while also working the program... all I can say is... good luck.
There are people out there that I know got clean off things without long term programs of any sort in place and no effort in their recovery. But they aren’t necessarily better for it... recovery is about more than just like clean time it’s about transformation and healing so the individual can lead a safer healthier and more peaceful life. For the sake of their wellness and happiness and the others around them.
The people I know who got clean and did not continue recovery after discharge from detox or rehab wound up staying in the same place mentally, not really progressing or bettering their life. Yes they use less but, they did not totally stop using all substances. I.e, pot, pills, kratom, whatever they can lean on. And a lot of them end up becoming more heavy or regular drinkers.
and I can speak on this because I was one of them. I quit dope and then alcohol literally just snuck up on me and became a habitual thing like, smoking or, drinking coffee. Have a beer, have a glass of wine. But then on bad days it became, a few too many. Or, at parties you know I’d make myself absolutely sick and this led into a leeway of, choosing to smoke pot and choosing to do a little stimulants here and there for functional purposes. But it led me back into the life style of taking drugs. And then it became benzos to calm down. Because my life was still a fucking wreck, and my mind was still a fucking wreck, and I had not found balance and peace in my life- because I didn’t make any effort to make it. I didn’t progress. I didn’t grow. I was clean from opiates but, the lack of recovery in my life is what allowed me to ultimately continue down a path that led to relapse.
addicfion is a sickness of the mind and if you don’t treat it as such... like you just cure the physiological dependency aka the physical aspect of it... km going to be honest with you... the physical part aka withdrawal and detox... that’s the easy part.
