Saying no is often hard to do. Social pressure can make people feel reluctant to disappoint or go against the grain. When an offer is harmful, such as in the case of addiction especially to drugs, saying no is a vital skill that those in recovery must learn in order to maintain their sobriety (being sober). Here are six tactics that recovering addicts can use to resist invitations to relapse.

Just say No to Drugs
The simple and direct approach is often the best. Being clear and up-front can prevent further misunderstandings and let others know in no uncertain terms that the addict in recovery is not interested in using again. No explanation is necessary. A polite but firm refusal will give others the understanding that the topic is not up for further discussion.

Change the conversation
In situations where the addict does not want to be blunt, it can help to change the subject when the topic of drugs is brought up. This can distract the others in the conversation into talking about healthier matters. If the topic of drugs is brought back up again, simply change the subject again. The others will usually get the hint that the subject is not welcome.
