Support

One of my favorite words in life, is support. We all need support. Yes addiction support is implied, (stay in your health, stay in the moment) but we all need to feel alive again. Sometimes we get burnt out on all the mental health support, been there done it! This does not mean we have a pass to blow off our meetings for our addiction. We need to have other meetings for support that have nothing to do with addiction. Support is how self begins to put the pieces back in your life. After all it's your support for you and only you! We can get exasperated with everyone telling us where we need to go, how we need to do things, and why we need to do this. If we really be honest with our self, we already understand what we need to do for self. When I'm working with my private clients, I make sure each client has an outlet of support that is non-addiction related. For example, some of my clients seek more support in athletic functions like joining a volleyball team, basketball team, swim club, bike club, archery club, yoga, and racquetball league. Exercising with others can be alot of fun, and a positive way to get support, while meeting new healthy friends. Other clients join the YMCA, or local health club for that healthy support with others. Book clubs and early morning social breakfast groups can serve as a healthy banter for support for self  and meeting new people. Church is a wonderful tool to use for seeking  support and finding your higher power. Church groups can help self connect with others and their free people! Support is all around you. Open your self up to try new things, and meeting new people through exercise, book clubs, morning breakfast groups, and church groups. There are many other healthy support outlets that are out there. Go out and find them. Monday's and Wednesday's might be group for your addiction support, Tuesday's and Thursday's may be groups for fun and meeting new people! Create your own support network on self's terms. Stay in your health, stay in the moment!
