Self-Care Tips During Addiction Recovery
1. Know that self-control is a limited resource
Every decision you make during the day depletes your ability to make difficult decisions.
So it’s important to use your self-control facility properly, and not overextend yourself.
2. Avoid triggering stimuli
Addictive behaviors often start with an impulse that is inspired by reminders of influences that led to addictive behavior. Therefore, avoid anything associated with your story of addiction.
3. Eat high-quality foods and sleep
Your ability to make good decisions will depend on your health and energy. So be sure to eat nutrient-dense food and get adequate sleep.
