Recovery Support Groups (How its affective)

There is a contrast in how one either recovers successfully or relapses during emotional tense situations and or after someone has been released from some sort of rehab. The key to a successful recovery first of all is that the recoverer must recognize they need to continue at working at staying healthy, want to stay healthy, want to do the work to be healthy and remain healthy. The 2nd key element is having a support group that will hold you accountable, encourage you, motivate you, and acts as a confidant/close friend/family member, a community, and sponsor.
After getting out of the system: (jail, prison, rehab, therapy) to have a support group is keeping the healthy structure continuing. As a Residential Youth Counselor I had learned that the juvenile who has a caring and supportive family they are more likely to have succeed in carrying on the tools for coping with anger, depression and any other attitude or behavior disorder as oppossed to one who doesn't have support waiting for them at all to others who do but they are not of the supportive kind.
During grievance be of support so that the process doesn't over consume the mourner. Comfort them, let them express their emotions and feelings, and let them know that you are there for them.
Someone who gets in trouble with the law, or has an attitude/behavior issue is acting out. Anger and rebeling is a secondary reaction to most likely something that happened to the person in the past, the environment they're in, or the people they affiliate themselves with. To get to the core of the reaction the emotionally wrecked with your assistance needs to come to terms with what the primary cause of the reaction is festering deep with in. (Abandonment, abuse, neglect...)
Support strengthens the mindset, and confidents for the person working through trial and aleviates stress anger and depression.

It is not I to Judge

It is not I to seek Revenge
Create/ keep a visual journal. Express emotions, ideas, experiences and also visual goals and aspirations by: drawing painting cutting out pictures and sticking them in a journal and write a description if it feels right.
Journal, venting, reflecting, (learning from trials) disecting, observing, analyzing, process and figure out alternatives to negatives (how can I respond to similiar or exact situation.)
Support and accountability is not just for intense trials but fo relationships/ friendships, family and marriage. If a marriage/ relationship is falling apart you are there to support them and hold them accountable to restrenghten their hope courage and confidents. It prevents the spiraling to avoid making there issue worse...
