What coping strategies do you find most effective in your sobriety?
Slowing down and remembering to pause and breathe.
Self care, mindfulness, saying no to something I don't want to do, good nutrition n herbal supplements, but most importantly walking with my HP
The gym is my coping strategy
Working the 12 steps with my sponsor, meetings, walking/jogging, yoga, meditation, conscious contact with my HP, Journaling, gratitude list daily, talking with others in the program, staying in the day or the hour...whatever is needed, serenity prayer multiple times a day and asking for help when you need it.
Working out was big... work helped.... but I just had to decide if I wanted to live or not... stay busy, occupy your mind, talk about your sobriety so it's in your face all the time... get rid of those avenues that lead you back to the thing we all haye the most...
I never did like how people would list things or people in my life and be like there u go... like no shoot I have that if it was enough, I wouldn't be here again...
You got this... follow me for more tips...
Writing in a journal helps
Continued communication with God,
Taking time for y self. And
Stop and breathe,
Some type of exercise,
Listening to the audio version of the Big Book and 12x12,
Going to the shooting range.
