All people change. We are familiar with the way children change through their physical growth and the development of their personality.
We are, however, less aware of the ways adults change.
These changes are less obvious because they are slower
Depending on your age, think back five, ten or twenty years ago. Have your attitudes, your expectations of life, your self-confidence and your interests changed?
Change for adults is gradual, but is still very real. Because adults change, their relationships also change
How much have you changed since you came through drug rehab? Do you think this change will affect your relationships?

Types of Relationship Change

All relationships change
It is important for couples to realise this, and to be ready for change. Otherwise, perfectly normal changes in their relationship may be seen as a threat or disappointment and lead to tension and difficulties
Three types of change occur:
changes in the pattern of the relationship
changes caused by the stage of life the couple have reached
changes caused by some of the events that can occur in anyone’s life, such as the death of a family member

As you become healthier and more sober you must be prepared for the changes this will affect in your relationships. I will spend the next few days discussing these changes.
