Emotional sobriety.

Emotional sobriety.

Many people believe that alcohol and drug use are root of an alcoholic or drug addict’s problem. However, if we remove the alcohol and drugs, we remain emotionally and mentally far from normal. The root cause of our alcohol and drug use developed at some point in our lives through our own personal experiences. A lot of these experiences are triggered by family circumstances and or personal trauma and if such things are not dealt with professionally, we become subconscious to such events that will eventually lead to destruction. These unfortunate circumstances create a loss of one’s self-identity generating a high want and need to feel accepted. We all long for acceptance. Attachment is one of our greatest desires yet abandonment is one of our greatest fears. We always tend to be seeking outside approval from others when acceptance of one’s true self is the answer. Emotional Sobriety Group helps clients become aware of co-dependent patterns and emotional dependencies that often are underlying drug and alcohol addiction in an effort to create new and healthy patterns to support long-term sobriety.
