In our practice, we often see how strange it can feel to build a life after addiction when so much of someone’s identity has been tied to using. Even when substance use has stopped, there can still be this lingering question of who they are without it. Having something to move towards, whether that’s a relationship, a role, a responsibility or a purpose, can make that process of rebuilding a sense of self feel much more real.
