Life Skills Needed in Recovery
Addiction treatment is more than medications and therapy. Much of it can involve changing life habits and learning new and effective ways to develop a healthy and happy lifestyle. Learn more about how we help develop these life skills at Coalition Recovery.
Are You Substituting Your Addiction? – The impact of Coffee & Cigarettes
Many times in recovery, individuals will substitute addictions without even realizing it. Propensity to engage in poor food choices, including sugar, caffeine, propensity to use nicotine, as well as addictive experiences such as shopping, leisure, and sexuality are often overlooked in recovery. Are these behaviors present in your recovery? What are the implications of this, why does this happen, and ultimately, how do we make our recovery as wholesome as possible?
9 Ways to Manage the Super Bowl While Sober
Game Day doesn’t need to be a reason to consume alcohol. If you are new to recovery, the Super Bowl might be a strange time. What was once a reason to drink and party now has become something to fear – but fret not my friend. I can assure you it is just a sports game – nothing more. You can and will have fun watching this game without the need to drink. So, if you’re looking ahead to enjoying a little football this weekend break and NOT drinking, below’s exactly how to do that.
How Effective is Medication Assisted Treatment?
Medication Assisted Treatment or Medication Assisted Therapy is the use of medications alongside psychotherapies like CBT. MAT is an evidence-based therapy meaning it has been researched and been shown to be effective for the treatment of substance abuse treatment; but how effective is it?
What Happens When You Leave Treatment
What happens when you leave treatment? Well, a lot. Everything you’ve learned in treatment will be put to the test. Aftercare initiatives that were set up during treatment will be put into effect. Your recovery journey doesn’t stop when you leave treatment – it begins.
Drinking to Cope with Social Situations?
Drinking can be a coping mechanism for a variety of things: mainly underlying mental health disorders.
However, people may find themselves reliant on alcohol to help them in social situations which can lead to a unhealthy dependence.

The Value of Appreciation in Recovery
Who are we to get to use substances to “shut off” the world, or numb our pain? What makes us so special that we get the “easy way” out in life, as opposed to facing our struggles with courage, dignity, integrity, and gratitude like many others? Of the many perpetuating factors of substance use, the entitlement factor described is one that can be challenged and defeated entirely within the self.
Why Do Relapses Happen?
We know deep down how great sobriety feels. When looking back at our lives of drinking and/or using, it’s clear to see that a life of recovery is the way to go; yet relapse is an almost inevitable part of recovery. Why then do we fall back into these unhealthy ways when we know how it will effect us?
