Train your brain to think in terms of whether or not something is beneficial to your recovery


When exploring sobriety it can be helpful to ask ourselves questions. Drugs and alcohol have damaged our brain's ability to naturally think rational thoughts. Essentially our brains have been hijacked and reprogrammed to aggressively seek out artificial rushes of dopamine. So instead of trusting our initial reaction or judgement it may be beneficial to take a moment and evaluate whether something is helpful or unhelpful to our recovery. This is the practice of being mindful of our thoughts and the choices we make. 
​

Is this relationship helpful or unhelpful to my recovery

Is what i'm watching on tv or the type of music i'm listening to helpful or unhelpful to my recovery 
​

​

Recovery is more about learning a new, healthy and enjoyable way to live and less about being consumed by FOMO (fear of missing out.) Every day is filled with opportunities to seek out joy and breath in freedom from addiction! That doesn't mean that every day is easy or without its own struggles, but it does mean that each day sober is a day to be grateful! 

Remember:

My worst day sober is always going to be better than my best day high/wasted
