The transition from conventional living to Sober Living may be one of the most difficult transitions for a person. It is not only emotionally challenging, but it is also physically demanding. During this time, a person will experience withdrawal symptoms when leaving their familiar environments that they are so used to. These symptoms may include shaking, sweating, headaches, insomnia, muscle tension, irritability, depression, anxiety, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and feeling “cut off”. These symptoms are common amongst Sober Dwellers but they can be intensified or aggravated by the isolation that comes with transitioning from an “American Dream” lifestyle to “Sober Living”. With some good information about Sober Living and transitional living, a person can make their transition into a more healthy lifestyle much easier and faster. There are several resources on the internet that provide support during and after a transition. Many of these websites provide so much information and detail that the average individual can become overwhelmed easily. There are forums, blogs, articles, telephone hotlines, online chats, message boards, and support groups to help those who are making this transition. This kind of transition is not for everyone. Many individuals are very attached to their familiar surroundings, especially those people who have family or friends nearby. For these people, the move from an “American Dream” to “Sober Living” can be very difficult and may take years to complete. With the proper information, however, most Sober Dwellers can make the transition and find a place of deep rest and relaxation.
