"Talking about the impact of addiction is no less important than it would be for a couple affected by cancer, diabetes, or heart disease. Both partners and their relationship need healing from this dev- astating problem. We know that couples and families with addiction histories often have levels of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This exercise is not about blaming the person with the substance use disorder or the partner; rather, the goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental way for both partners to share their feelings about how addiction has impacted them as individuals and as a couple."
