This Memorial Day, we honor and remember those who gave their lives in service to our country.

I do not know about you; but for me, there is something to be said about getting back into a routine after the holidays. This is not only for my own recovery but also for my clients who are in recovery.

Like most addicts in recovery, we start with an attitude of I have to…go to counseling, attend a support group, be accountable, forgive, love, pursue my partner, etc. as compared to I want to. This is not only true of individuals but of couples as well.
