Every holiday poses a unique struggle for those in recovery, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. Single or in a relationship, it’s impossible to escape the extra pressure to buy gifts and “wow” someone special in your life. Being told to create lifelong memories that also tend to cost a fair amount of money can be\u00a0extremely stressful<\/a>. For some, the holiday can stir up old memories and emotions from relationships that were based on joint substance abuse.<\/p>\n

Others may have a hard time separating the desire to celebrate with cravings they may start having. No matter what the reason, America’s Rehab Campus is here to help support your recovery this Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n
