Sobriety ≠ Safety

A partner can be sober, in counseling, and “doing the work,” yet still not feel safe to the betrayed partner.

Sobriety stops the behavior.

Safety requires a heart change.

Incomplete recovery often looks like:

• defensiveness
• anger or emotional outbursts under stress
• pressure to “move on” or forgive
• lack of empathy for the harm caused
• honesty that feels selective or surface-level

When sobriety isn’t paired with true recovery, the relationship can still feel unpredictable and unsafe, even if there’s no acting out.

True recovery includes:
• humility
• accountability
• emotional regulation
• empathy that stays present with pain
• consistent honesty

If sobriety alone still doesn’t feel safe, that doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful, demanding, or “not healing fast enough.” It may mean the recovery is incomplete.

Post-holiday exhaustion doesn’t mean you’re doing recovery wrong, it means you showed up when it was hard. Be gentle with yourself as you return to the rhythm of healing. You’re not alone.

“A good therapist can be one of our greatest allies in recovery. In fact, I encourage most recovering addicts to work with a therapist who has a deep commitment to the 12 steps, and an appreciation for the spirituality of recovery.”
– Patrick Carnes, PhD, A Gentle Path Through the 12 Steps

While S.A. Lifeline and SAL 12-Step do not provide therapy, we acknowledge that qualified therapy is a pivotal piece of working recovery for both the recovering addict and betrayed partner.

It can be insightful to compare addiction to a tree:

A (negative emotion) is the roots
B (lust) is the trunk
C (acting out) is the branches

→ B and C grow out of the roots

Branches (like our acting-out behaviors) tend to be obvious to us and others. But roots (like emotions we may be unaware of) remain hidden below the surface. In order to live in recovery, we must first become aware of the roots (our emotions) as they are the catalyst that sets our addiction cycle into motion.
