3 Top Tips:
Addiction is often stigmatized, but it affects more individuals than is commonly acknowledged. Radical acceptance embraces the concept that life events occur, and by accepting them, one can experience a more fulfilling life.
Establish a strong support network - the impact of another person's words and presence in our lives can be significantly underestimated.
I have greatly benefited from incorporating DBT skills into my journey alongside the 12-step program. I highly recommend utilizing DBT to aid in the development of self-acceptance and emotional regulation for individuals facing addiction.
