Here's what to do if you recently separated from an ex who's an addict

Anyone who just split from an ex who is an addict should pay good attention to themselves

Alcohol addiction

Sometimes you fall with the wrong people who'll influence you negatively with their unhealthy lifestyle, but if you are quick enough to realise that you may go down that same road, it's better to distance yourself from them and advise them to seek help.

According to prevention expert, Olessa Pindak on Marlo Thomas show says anyone who just split from an ex who is an addict should pay good attention to themselves, try to take care of their health.

The effects of separation from someone you love could be very drastic and you're likely to fall into that lifestyle you were running away from if you don't pay attention to your mind and body, this could create a bigger problem for you in the long run. Getting help from a therapist would be suitable in this case.
