Attend support groups: Consider attending Christian-based support groups such as Celebrate Recovery or Christian 12-Step Programs to receive support from others who understand your struggles.
Practice self-care: Engage in activities that promote physical, emotional, and spiritual health such as exercise, healthy eating, and mindfulness practices.
Stay accountable: Surround yourself with a supportive community of family, friends, and spiritual mentors who can provide accountability and encouragement as you work toward recovery.
Focus on forgiveness: Remember that forgiveness is a key component of the Christian faith. Practice forgiveness towards yourself and others who may have hurt you during your addiction.
