Successful Recovery Starts Here

Recovery from addiction requires a solid commitment to sober living. Anyone who is currently in recovery or just beginning the journey should understand that addiction is a disease. It is not a lack of willpower and self–control but a disease that is lodged in the limbic system of your brain. This part of your brain is responsible for controlling behaviors and impulses, so it can be difficult to break the cycle of addiction. The best way to ensure success in recovery is to have a plan and take action on it. This plan should include regular ongoing therapy, support from family and friends and working with a reputable treatment center or therapist to develop healthier coping skills and ways to manage stress. Developing an aftercare plan and practicing healthy coping skills is essential to maintaining sobriety and reducing the risk of relapse.

10 Tips for a Successful Recovery

Make your recovery a priority

Put yourself first and stay in touch with trained professionals who know you and can provide you with comprehensive treatment options and sound advice throughout your recovery.

Take it one day at a time

Recovery is a process, not a destination. Do not let thoughts of use or old habits get the best of you. Learn techniques to overcome any negative thoughts and feelings.

Communicate

Addiction can be very isolating so talk to your friends and family about your challenges. While it may be tough, the support system you create will give you an enormous boost. They will be there when you need them and will help you stay motivated and focused.

Change your environment

One of the best ways to maintain a healthy recovery is to replace your bad habits with healthy, new ones. Surround yourself with positive people, things, and experiences. Search out cultural events and activities that can stimulate your body and mind in a new, exciting – and healthy way.

Change your friends

Some of your friends may have been enabling your addiction instead of helping you control it. If you have friends that may jeopardize your recovery, it is time to find a new circle of friends. The right friends will help you to maintain a healthy recovery.

Get some exercise

Spending 30-60 minutes walking or at the gym, just a few days a week will do wonders for you. Exercise will not only boost your physical strength, but it will also boost your mental health as well.

Join a support group

Whether you join a church-based group, AA, or other social support networks, they can provide wonderful value, help, and wisdom to your recovery efforts.

Improve your diet

In addition to exercise, eating right is another key ingredient to a successful recovery. Whether you get help or do it on your own, improvements in diet will make you healthier mentally and physically.

Work or donate your time

Being productive at your job or giving back to a cause you believe in will do wonders for your self-esteem. Making a positive contribution at work or to others will give you a wonderful sense of accomplishment and pride.

Never give up

Whatever you do, regardless of the challenges or obstacles you face, do not give up, or give in to the disease. Rely on your family, friends, and support systems to keep going in the face of temptations and difficult days.
