When life is not going well for people in recovery it can mean also having to deal with cravings. The usual way that the individual will have coped with problems in the past will have been to run to the bottle or the drug. When things go wrong in recovery they may feel this same urge. It is not only the bad times that can produce these cravings though. If things are going well for the individual they might also find that this produces thoughts of relapse. This is because in the past they will have associated celebrations and the good times with substance abuse. It can take people a bit of time before they become accustomed to dealing with the good times without any chemical assistance. Once people become comfortable in their sobriety this connection between substance abuse and the swings in life begins to fade.
