Your Roadmap to the Six Stages of Change: How to Achieve True Transformation

There are six stages of change, but it’s rarely a linear process where you travel from point A to point B or C. Instead you move from one stage to the next and then back again, jumping around and slowly passing through each stage while revisiting old lessons.

What’s our point? Addiction isn’t conquered all at once and never for good, and your progress might come temporarily undone. Don’t worry. It’s natural. Look to whichever stage you’re in, be mindful of the upcoming stages and learn from esteemed author Beverly Conyers how to carefully navigate these stages of change to achieve true transformation. And remind yourself to be patient.

How the Family System Adapts

Experts are quick to remind us that “addiction is a family disease” because it affects the entire family, and for better or worse, the family adapts to its presence. But what does that look like? Click through to find out.

Take action to ensure patients are informed about opioid risks Inbox

Partnership to End Addiction

While most people who take prescription opioids will not develop addiction, patients and their families should be advised of the risks and alternatives whenever these medications are prescribed. Those in recovery face increased risk of relapse and overdose when prescribed opioids, and risks also arise from the potential for unused medicine to be diverted and misused by others.

Many remain unaware of the addictive potential of opioids and of alternative treatment options. Health care providers miss an opportunity to educate their patients and help them make an informed choice when they fail to discuss the risks and alternative treatment options when prescribing opioids.

Ask your Representative to cosponsor the Opioid Patients’ Right to Know Act, which would incentivize states to require prescribers to discuss the addictive qualities of opioids and alternative treatment options prior to prescribing opioids for acute pain.

Act Now

People and families struggling with substance use and addiction encounter a variety of systemic challenges throughout their journey, which is why we created a new section of our website called "Help Us Change the Story of Addiction." The site features personal stories that bring these structural barriers to life, including Elaine’s story about not receiving information about the addiction risks of opioids when her son was prescribed them following surgery. Each story offers visitors an opportunity to advocate for policy change by signing an action alert or by sharing similar stories from their own journey.

Let’s change the story of addiction today.

Reminder: Danielle Gregorich - former Alcoholic - Talking about the Stroke of Sobriety

Danielle Gregorich - former Alcoholic - Talking about the Stroke of Sobriety
Danielle Gregorich former Alcoholic Stroke Survivor Best Selling Author
Danielle Gregorich is an Arizona native. She is an Air Force wife and a sober mom of two children.         

She is a multiple suicide attempt survivor, a kidney cancer survivor, and a stroke survivor. DG started writing about her sobriety publicly in 2018 after she suffered a massive stroke four months into her sobriety journey. That stroke took away her ability to speak, read, and write. Her speech therapist suggested that she write to stimulate her brain function to regain these abilities. She wrote authentically and raw about her struggles with sobriety, marriage, and motherhood. Writing quickly became therapeutic and played a crucial role during her first year of sobriety.

During Danielle's first year of sobriety, she overcame multiple struggles and obstacles. Sobriety did not come easily for Danielle, but she embraced the suck of sobriety, with faith and hope that she would experience the miracle and the promises. She wrote Stroke of Sobriety - The Essential Daily Guide - Embracing the suck of sobriety, in hopes that she will inspire someone to not give up before the miracle. Her book is available for purchase exclusively on Amazon. She will be publishing her second book titled: Stroke of Strength on 11.11.21.
