Well, I will be happy to explain it.
The sponsor is asking for no contact, and some re-habs ask for no contact so that the A can totally concentrate on RECOVERY. Totally concentrate on THE UNDERLYING ISSUES that make alcohol and drugs the symptoms.
Now that does not mean at the end of the 90 days they will be cured. Won't happen. But what it does mean is that IF they are serious about recovery they will have gained some EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TOOLS to help them to continue living sober.
It also give YOU time to work on YOU, through AlAnon, therapy, whatever. Anytime we are involved with an A, we end up getting 'screwed' up in our thinking also.
So there you have it.
J M H O from my own experiences living sober for almost 30 years now and working my program to keep me from going back into 'codie' mode.
Love and hugs,
