Addiction, trauma and couple relationships



This is a short introduction to the connection between trauma and addictions as well as to the impact of addictions and alcohol and drug use problems on relationships. Many people think one has to give up the substance or the addiction before you can work on problems in your relationship. I have found that this is sometimes the case, but also that this is not always necessary: As people get better at managing distress without the need to avoid, and as the relationship improves, substance use can reduce.

In the pantheon of NFL quarterbacks, few have taken a path as unconventional—or as inspiring—as Josh Allen. The Buffalo Bills' franchise signal-caller is a study in extremes: a prospect so lightly regarded that he had to email every FBS program for a chance, yet now a player so dominant that he holds multiple NFL records and an MVP trophy. From the dusty fields of a 3,000-acre cotton farm to the bright lights of the AFC playoffs, Allen's journey is a testament to the power of patience, perseverance, and an unshakable belief in one's own potential.
