We don’t know what we don’t know. We are In #recovery because we don’t know how to deal with the stress and anxiety without using substances and activities that are creating problems. Avoid self judgement, you did not know better. Get #curious and learn new ways to handle #life
Very short protocol tutorial on why viewing sunlight at certain times is especially beneficial, why “daylight” is the better term than sunlight, the sun-cortisol-melatonin energy-sleep link and a bunch more. Enjoy!
It’s not the #alcohol
It’s not the #drugs
It’s not the sex!
It’s not any of these substances or activities!
These are symptoms of other things going on, find out what’s going on!
Avoid blaming
Do the work to find out why you reach for your drug of choice?
@ScrtDrugAddict Agree !! "Be skeptical, but learn to listen" is the Fifth Agreement from Don Miguel Ruiz. Look around and see what resonates with you. There are many paths up the mountain.
Know thy Self, what makes you do what you do?

Do you allow words to upset you? Do you feel like you MUST defend yourself because of someone’s words?
Think about this: you are being manipulated by WORDS. Words set you off? Use WORDS to track ur beliefs and realize it’s not the words, but the beliefs you have about the words
Are you ok with you?? Your looks, your worth, your life? Jamie Lee Curtis recovering addict talks about being ok in your own skin and she has thoughts about the harm done to ‘a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex’ | CNN https://t.co/WIQE5JAK7H
#recovery Don’t waste a good crisis by hoping it goes away. Do the work to determine the false #belief and do not blame others. Sit in the fire of the emotion and be thankful the universe has given this experience. I know it sucks, but this is what you need to #heal#soberposse
#Addiction is the #symptom! Addiction is not the root of the issue! We are so lucky that we found a #substance or #activity to regulate our emotions. Can you be grateful for your addiction? It has brought you to a new level of awareness, a new level of #peace, if not, get ready
You are in charge of you. People may say things,act in a way which you use to make yourself upset, you push your own buttons. You are not a victim!! Again, you make yourself dysregulated/upset, and you solve the dysregulation by using substances or activities to regulate emotion
