Struggling Help
#1

I relapsed for the first time in years a few days ago. Since that drink, I can’t curb the cravings. I don’t know what to do.

I’m no expert lol, but what’s worked for me is:

  • Go outside and get some sun every day 20-30 mins, even 10 mins will be helpful.

  • Drink some EAAs every day, the body needs these to survive/recover and it makes life so much easier (especially if you work out).

  • Take 2000mg liposomal vitamin C every day (recovery/immune system/skin health and so much more benefits).

  • Do 10 pushups/pullups/situps/squats x2 a day. Helps us get stronger physically and mentally.

  • Make sure to stretch and release the trauma from the fascia. Look this up on YouTube. Very important.

  • Epsom salt baths are very healthy for the body and mind, tons of health benefits.

  • Ashwagandha and L-Theanine help reduce stress, lots of products on Temu actually for this.

  • Sometimes growth feels ugly. Don’t forget that we all have our own life journey. It’s okay to have problems and not know how to solve them. Learn to accept the losses and build on the tiny wins of each day. Even when we lose. Find something to celebrate as a small win.

  • look up Hoʻoponopono. Great way to find an anchor in life and become more grounded. There’s an interesting documentary on YouTube actually.

  • Walk in the grass or go to the beach barefoot. Helps us ground physically.

  • My favorite one is, eat more steak!! :slight_smile: (London broils can be cut up in smaller portions).

If you ever need any more tips, products and tricks to stay in the game and keep getting better at playing, hmu. YOU GOT THIS! 🫵🏼

Avi shared many great suggestions. Get to as many meetings as you can too, listen & share. The cravings will subside as you gain further days away from the last drink. See if there's someone who you can help too.
It also helps me when I talk or journal to my Higher Power.
Easy Does It. Keep putting more time between the last drink and each moment today. You are worth it!! 🧚🏼‍♀️🌻
