Tip 6: Get Your Safety Net in Place

Addiction is a disease of isolation. I canโ€™t stress that fact enough. A lack of emotional sobriety is often caused by a lack of social engagement with others who support your recovery. Being toxically independent is an adaptive survival strategy, rather than a healthy way of life.โ€œI can do life alone, thank you very much.โ€ Itโ€™s why asking for help seems like a sign of weakness, rather than strength.

Just like it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a community to heal those of us who suffer from addictions. Human connection is the most powerful antidote to addiction. When our primary attachment relationship is to a bottle, a pill, or a device, rather than to another loving human being, we are incredibly lonely and profoundly out of sync with what is best for us. Our task in recovery is to get connected to a group of like-minded people who understand and have found a solution to our problem. Within that group, we need to select one person to whom we are willing to tell everything. Going it alone will not suffice. Itโ€™s a recipe back to relapse.
