Whenever someone embarks on the journey to break free from their addiction to drugs, the expectations they have of what they and their life will be like once they have achieved their goal will concern many aspects of their life. There will be thoughts about how their relationship with their partner will thrive, how they might build bridges with family and friends whom they have shunned during their addiction, and they may hope that their finances will improve.
Another hope they are bound to have is that their mental and emotional health will be augmented, and prime amongst that will be the expectation that they will be a happier individual once they have recovered from drug dependency. Unfortunately, it can be the case that the person’s happiness does not immediately hit the level they were expecting and that raises the question in their mind “Why not?”.
