Recovery

Day 11! I’m putting together my “toolbox” for cravings right now. I’ll post a picture when it’s done. It’s gonna be based on what my triggers are and what would help. -Do I need to eat? Snacks.
-Am I thirtsty? Juice boxes.
-Stress? Gum.
-Heartbreak? Sodoku.
-Depression? Running shoes.
-Thinking about ‘just having one’? Grab a quit lit book

I’ll also put different writing journals in based on the feelings I know come up a lot. And I’m gonna decorate it cute so it goes into my room as a nice piece.
Any other tips for tools???

You need to put God I. Your tool box for when you need to someone to talk to. Always helps me.

That’s so cool Kate!! I like the gum for stress. I have a very strong jaw due to all the stress I create lol. Working out is another one I use often. I’m with Keith when it comes to more severe feelings of loneliness or fear. Seems meditation and/or prayer is the best solution for me. The other option is to read the big book or pick up the 10,000 lb telephone and call my sponsor or a friend in the fellowship. Sometimes I just need to feel connected and loved, and those are the only tools that help. Great post btw…thanks :pray::peace_symbol:
