For Couples After Addiction
One of You Got Sober. The Relationship Didn't Automatically Heal.
Recovery is not a finish line you both cross at the same moment.
For the couple where one partner has gotten sober and both are trying to figure out what that means for the relationship — rebuilding after addiction has reshaped everything between them.
The Name It First Experience
Getting sober is the beginning, not the end. The patterns that formed around the addiction — the protection strategies, the resentments, the roles — those do not disappear when the substance is gone. This workbook is for the period after: when the crisis has passed but the damage is still visible, and both people need a structure for naming what happened and deciding who they want to be to each other now. The output is not a relapse plan. It is The Post-Addiction Partnership Plan — built when both people are ready to be honest about what the relationship needs.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What has changed in the relationship now that the substance is gone — and what hasn't changed yet?
- What did the active addiction do to trust between you — and is rebuilding it something both of you are working on?
- What does the partner who is not in recovery need that recovery programs don't address?
