Helping Others Understand Our Changes

Recovery is not a quick process. The person who will emerge from this process is totally unknown. To people who knew the active addict, this may be bewildering. But they can get help and insight by participating in family therapy and in Al-Anon family groups. Should they decide not to reestablish the relationship, the experience and personal growth of participating in these programs is extremely valuable. The addict has no option but to change and grow, because his very life depends on it. Participation in the family program can provide the opportunity to understand the recovering person.
