Once you do find work, it’s important to be aware of the factors that may trigger drug or alcohol cravings in your new workplace or as a result of your new job. Some of the common workplace triggers include stress caused by:
Promotions or new responsibilities
Relationships with coworkers
Heavy workload and work/life balance
Workplace celebrations
Using the tools you learned in counseling or therapy is essential to succeeding in a new job. Jobs for recovering drug addicts can be a huge source of stress, and healthy coping tools will help you deal with potential triggers successfully.
