Make a plan: Creating a plan for recovery is an important first step. Identify your triggers and create a plan for how you will handle them. Write down your goals and create a schedule for your recovery activities, such as support group meetings, therapy appointments, and exercise.
Find support: Support is essential for recovery. Join a support group or reach out to family and friends who can provide encouragement and help hold you accountable. Online support groups and teletherapy are also options for remote support.
Focus on self-care: Taking care of yourself is important during recovery. Eat healthy, exercise regularly, and practice mindfulness or meditation to reduce stress and anxiety.
Consider therapy: A therapist can help you address underlying issues that may have contributed to your addiction and provide guidance on how to manage triggers and cravings.
Avoid triggers: Identify your triggers and avoid them as much as possible. If you can’t avoid them, have a plan in place for how to cope.
Stay busy: Keeping busy can help distract you from cravings and reduce the risk of relapse. Find activities that you enjoy and that give you a sense of purpose.
Celebrate milestones: Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem. Reward yourself for staying sober and achieving your goals.
Remember that recovery is a journey, and setbacks are a natural part of the process. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you slip up. Instead, use it as an opportunity to learn and recommit to your recovery.
