The old “rubber band trick”… Has any one heard of/used the snap of a rubber band/hair tie on the wrist to help with negative thought patterns? If so, was it recommended to you or did you just try it on your own? I know it is not the solution for our complicated disease of addiction but wondering if any one has done this and found it to help? Especially early on, along with following a program of course… I did it years ago & I think it helped. I am struggling “to tell the devil NO” after a few days and I am planning to incorporate this tool again, in addition to following a program. TIA for your feedback!
I have not used it in recovery, but have used it to relieve stress at work along with meditation. I have rubber bands handy in the work I do.
