Hello and Thank You for Reading This Article!
My name is Dave L. and I am a recovering addict!
Please try to use the 7 suggestions mentioned below to help aid in your Recovery ! Please feel free to comment afterwards on what you think, any opinions, suggestions, good or bad.
I really appreciate any comments to hopefully help build a stronger Recovery audience.
Here are some actions that are most powerfully recommended, in order to stay on a solid path to be successful in alcohol and drug addiction recovery for the long term.
1. Follow through with counseling and guidance
- stats show that the longer you can occupy your personal time in conventional treatment the more beneficial your chances. Your therapists and counselors will be the primary individuals to keep you properly on track in your recovery movements!
2. Think back of Time
- After you have broken away from your addiction and recovery center or rehab, you might be baffled with the ideas of alcohol or drugs that are provoking your psyche. Sobriety and Recovery takes time. While impatience can drive you looney, time takes time.
3. Keep yourself busy both mentally and physically
- numerous recovering addicts often find it grueling not to go back to their older life-styles, but the one thing that can assist is to keep yourself productively busied. Acquiring a spare-time activity, encompassing yourself with positive and influential supporters daily, and occupying your next twenty-four hours to keep yourself busy in order to be preoccupied will keep you from destructive doings.
*** Remember*** "One Day at a Time"***
4. Again, Remember to Always Take One Day at a Time
- If you're getting so defeated that you are experiencing those negative horrible feelings again like you just want to have some more alcohol or that one last smack of drugs, stop before you get there! Get a hold of yourself, and be mindful that sobriety is a daily drive and challenging effort ! Many people have to push themselves to take one minute, hour, and day at a time just to stay fresh and stay out of trouble.
5. Discover New Behaviors
- this is something that many addiction advocates will center on, but what are you going to do when it should have been the time for your every day dosage of alcohol or other drug? If you are able to find different things to do with that time of day, it will be more beneficial for you in the long haul.
6. Let your Family recognize your Situation.
- Many recovering addicts choose not to tell their families, but these are the 1st people that you should tell. They'll assist you (hopefully) to getting you back on to your feet and stay there and provide a lot of emotional support when you require it the most!
7. Never abandon Your Recovery Efforts!
-This conception is as old as the bible but it has been proven to work! A recovering addict is someone who can't afford to give up and abandon his or her recovery efforts! The substances that you discontinue using will eventually show up like the devil and try and lure you into using again!
Temptation will be with you for some time during recovery, especially in the beginning . So, with that said, it is very Important to stay in communication with either other recovering addicts, family, counselors, good friends, and make sure to get to you nearest A.A. (Alcoholics Anonymous) or N.A (Narcotics Anonymous) meetings.
*** If you are having any problems finding meetings, go to: AA.Org for alcohol meetings and go to: NA.Org for Narcotics Meetings. ***
Please never give in to the temptations that surround all of us here at recovering! Find a meeting A.S.A.P !!!
These seven angles will for sure assist your alcohol and drug addiction recovery efforts in both the short term and the long haul.
By adopting all of these steps and surrounding yourself with positive influences will help you now and in the future when you utterly need it.
