Everything Changes Quotes

“bedrock of recovery is abstinence from addictive, mood-altering chemicals. But it is also true that for sobriety to be achieved and maintained, our loved one needs to work through multiple layers of dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors. She must replace unhealthy attitudes and belief systems with new ways of thinking and understanding. And she must acquire new skills for long-term management of a chronic disease.”
― Beverly Conyers, Everything Changes: Help for Families of Newly Recovering Addicts
