This 5-page guide explores the dynamics of codependent relationships and their impact on recovery from substance use disorders. It delves into the characteristics of codependency, such as excessive caretaking, lack of boundaries, and people-pleasing behaviors, which can undermine personal growth and sobriety. The guide also provides practical strategies for maintaining healthy relationships, including setting clear boundaries, encouraging independence, and communicating openly. With a focus on fostering supportive and balanced connections, this resource aims to help individuals in recovery build relationships that contribute positively to their journey toward long-term sobriety and well-being.
