Staying Clean In An Unchallenging Sober Environment In Palm Beach Fl.

Getting free of an addiction is a long process

, and extremely tough. Many try to kick addictions and most actually relapse. For a recovering alcohol addicted person 1 drink is too many and 2 is never enough. For people who are recovering from addiction to chemical substances the same applies, once clear of the physical dependency, which may take some time, a complete break has to be made with the drugs or a relapse into physical addiction will recur.

One only has to think of smokers, a relatively mild addiction that has no real dependency issues. Sure there is a certain amount of discomfort from nicotine withdrawal but it is manageable and does not take very long. But just about every smoker has tried to quit more than once and just about every one has gone back to smoking within a few months. It is not the nicotine that makes them start smoking again, it is the lifestyle or the associates. If a would be ex smoker plays cards with people who smoke it is impossible for the craving not to reawaken. It is not only the whiff of tobacco smoke it is the habit, the action with the hands and the apparent short term satisfaction.

To actually overcome an addiction it helps a great deal, in fact it is almost essential, that the lifestyle that was part of the addiction in the first place be changed. A recovering alcohol dependent cannot go and associate with his old buddies in a bar or club or wherever it was he used to drink.

Similarly with a drug dependency. Many drug habits come from the free availability and the peer pressure associated with social activities. If one has kicked the addiction one should be aware that associating with those peers will make it far more likely that pressure will be applied to start using again.

No no one wants to be addicted and to have got through the rehab programs that take one from full blown dependency to the position where an out patient program can be undertaken has required a lot of commitment plus the extremely painful process of withdrawal.

This is where Pathways to Peace comes in. The next stage of recovery after a residential program is a place where sober living Fl can be undertaken. A halfway house Florida situated in Palm Beach with separate facilities for men and women sober living is being provided with free transport to and from approved treatment programs locally.

It is staffed 24 hours a day and requires the residents to agree to have a positive attitude and be prepared to remain sober and to attend the 12 step meetings every day.

Essentially Pathways to Peace enables its residence to carry through with their recovery in a tranquil environment assisted by trained staff and in the presence of others who are experiencing a similar recovery period.

Sober living FL helps those who really do not want to relapse and are prepared to carry through with their recovery.
