Scenario

When couples have different approaches to addiction recovery

My partner and I both came from families with addiction and we're hypervigilant about substances but in completely opposite ways - I avoid everything and she researches harm reduction constantly - and it's creating this weird tension where we're supposedly on the same side but feel like we're failing each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people sharing the same wound are discovering that shared trauma doesn't guarantee compatible healing.
