By Linda Ruiz


It is encouraging to see how someone can transform from being an addict to someone better in the society. Building a network and support group to effectively manage your addiction can help you become a better man or woman in this life. Below is a list of seven benefits of being part of this type of a group.

You will find it easy to open up and talk the problem out. Of course, you already know that a problem shared is half solved and opening up means that you are ready to let go of the past bad experiences and hope for a change in the new life. Once you being to open up, you will realize just how much there are people out there who care about you and willing to help you with the current situation.

Once you open up, it should be easy to explain to the members of the group what exactly the problem is. For instance, you could be an alcohol addict because you think that drinking too much is the only solution to relieve stress in your life or you may argue too much with someone you love because you think that that is the only way to solve a problem at hand. Identifying your problem early enough will help you in the next step of knowing your craving.

There is always someone available to help you identify cravings that makes you addicted. You will be able to know the real reason behind why you are an addict. You will be able to find out why you cannot let go of that habit even if you want to let go and become a better person. You will be able to list all your cravings easily and know how much damage they do to you from time to time.

The best thing about being in a group is that you will meet with individuals who have been through the same situation as you. You are more likely to hear stories like yours and other worse effects and dangers than what you have been through yourself. When you hear how persons who have been through the same situation struggled, perhaps worse than you are, you will begin to see the real reason why you need to change.

When you listen to people share their stories, you will develop an interest to know how exactly they changed. You will begin to develop the desire to change, the desire to quit the bad habit, the desire to become a better you. Make sure you stick in the group, as this is where you can hear more testimonials; know what people went through and how they manage to transform.

You are able to find unlimited alternatives to addiction. People in the group will help you create a list of activities you can engage in, especially at the time you feel like going back to the same habit. This will help you recover from addiction with ease.

After a few months, you will have a new life. Do not leave other members unless you are so sure you can cope. Stick with the members until you are completely free from the bondage of addiction.
