How is hearing from other people dealing with addiction helpful to a client in recovery?
What will be an ideal response?
In an addictions group, a client in recovery benefits from hearing from others who are struggling and from those who doing better than they are. Many members of an addictions group feel connected to one another based on their common fight against the addiction. In addition, it is sometimes easier for a client with an addiction to accept feedback from others who are in the same situation than from the leader because other group members will "call them on their ‘stuff.'"
