Sober and Recovery Tips

Did you know that 1 in 7 people suffer from addiction? The struggle of addiction is real, but the good news is that you are aware that there needs to be some changes made and are on your way to living sober. Whether you are looking to make a change to improve your life or to better the lives of your family and friends; living sober is a brave choice. Here are some recovery tips for sober living and so you can successfully lead your best life.

• Be Honest with Yourself – Be realistic about your expectations for your new life. Just because you are living sober does not mean that there will be no problems. Everyone has things they must deal with. Accept that sober life may not be perfect and that’s ok. Seek help when needed, stay focused on goals, and be good to yourself as you learn and grow.
• Focus on Your Goals – Look forward and put your effort into your future, not the past. Decide what is important to you and concentrate on that. Dedicate yourself to living sober and make attainable goals for your future – whether it is to be sober today, a month from now, or next year.
• Build a Support Team – Developing relationships and connections with people who will care and support you is crucial at this time in your life. It is these relationships that you create and nurture that will help you on your road to recovery. Friendships, family connections, and support groups are an important part of recovery.
• Know Your Triggers – Be aware of your triggers and what it takes to resist them. Avoid putting yourself in situations that may tempt you, and always keep your goals in mind. Spend some time now identifying these triggers and preparing for a weak moment by writing down positive reasons you want to be living sober and why your recovery and continued sobriety is so important to you.
