Clean and Sober vs Recovery

One of the most important considerations for a recovering addict, is to ask and check oneself whether they are sitting in clean and sober or fully in recovery.

Clean and sober is a term used to describe someone who is not drinking or taking any substances but whose behaviours that are associated with addiction are still prevalent and ultimately if not challenged and changed, will result in a slide back into relapse.

Being in recovery is so much more than just being clean and sober, it's about giving back, being honest and living life with humility and asking for help when needed. A strong recovery opens limitless possibilities to achieve and enjoy the things in life that someone in addiction, quite simply, misses out on.

Todays group focused on the difference between being clean and sober and in recovery and the process of traversing from one to the other. This is a popular group and clients find it really helpful.
