Frequently, the reason why you should put romantic relations on hold is due to the possibility of a relapse, especially if we are talking about men. Male addiction<\/a> differs from the female\u2019s one, a lot. Even though women seem to be more likely to experience relapses because of higher post-recovery craving levels than males, both genders are at risk during the first year after the recovery process.<\/p>\n

Both males and females are exposed to numerous temptations<\/a> in a time of and after recovery. For that reason, it is of great importance that people focus on their self-care, recovery, and avoid any big life changes. One of the most significant emotional changes is at the beginning of a romantic relationship.<\/p>\n

A new relationship between two people in not an easy affair and requires constant work from both sides. A healthy relationship becomes a person\u2019s support system and an orienting point despite all the challenges that can come up. Interestingly, the brain of a person who is in love, is similar of the mind of an addict.<\/p>\n

All the highs people in love experience work the same way that drugs influence the brain and behavior of an addicted person. Thus, when there are some lows, one (an addict in this case) will have to seek out sources that will make him high. Relationships are often a roller coaster. The problem here is that such highs and lows can be destructive for the addict and can trigger the behavior of an addicted person.<\/p>\n

The recovery process doesn’t just last for several months; in some cases, it can take several years to become fully clean. For that reason, the first year of recovery is the time one should spend on continuing the therapy and learning a healthy lifestyle. Addicts have time to devote themselves to their future, a better life, and full recovery. To enter into a healthy relationship, you should be of a strong will and be able to become a pillar of support for your loved ones. Healthy relationships take place only under such conditions.<\/p>\n
