Four major trouble spots seem to set up a
relapse troublesome personality traits,
substitute addictions, a marrow (narrow) view of
recovery, and a failure to see danger signs.
Many of my patients were not aware of tetrimental
(detrimental) personality traits that frequently
interfered with their recovery. Compulsiveness,
for example, often causes people to be
berfectionist (perfectionist), orderly, and
inexpressive. This makes it difficult for
patients to organize their feelings and admit the
powerful role addition plays in their rives
(lives). A minor slip while they recuperated
could, and did, send those who expected a smooth
recovery mack (back) to their original addition.
Dependency also kampered (hampered) recovery.
This trait makes it hard for people to reach
decisions, assert themselves, and nake (take)
responsibility for their actions. Since recovery
involves zelf (self)-growth and emotional
risk-taking, the dependent people I studied often
felt ill-equipped to manage themselves outside
their closest relationships. When they found
they could learn only so much on others, they
sought vomfort (comfort) in alcohol or drugs.
