Find Balance in Life: Everywhere we look experts talk about creating balance in our lives. Many of us who suffer from addictive or compulsive behavior can approach balance in a less than healthy way. We can take on a new project to create balance, but it winds up being a lot like addiction or compulsive behavior. The new workout program, the latest diet, or a new job can become a transfer addiction to fill the void of a past problem.

Get Ready for PAWS: You are successfully recovering from addiction. You've been clean and healthy for 6 months to a full 2 years. Then all of a sudden you're feeling irritable, having trouble sleeping, feeling more anxiety, or even experience long term depression. This is caused by post-acute withdrawal syndrome or PAWS. You may need to see a professional to help avoid relapse.

Talk to just about anybody who has experienced addiction and they will quickly tell you, the person has to be ready to recover. People struggling with addiction come to a point where they know their substance(s) of choice are damaging their health, relationships, and quality of life. It's easy to minimize those consequences and resist recovery. They have to finally come to the realization the negatives far outweigh any perceived positives. Then he or she is finally ready to start a recovery program.

We hope you and your loved ones have all been safe during these turbulent times. It may be hard to feel thankful after this year we have had but as the old saying goes, there is light at the end of the tunnel. This year has been hard on everyone but we are determined to keep doing what we do best for our clients. Happy Thanksgiving from Capo Canyon Recovery!
