Recovery Awareness

Do you remember back in your past when you were aware of all the different places and people you could get high with, gamble, purge, and have unhealthy sexual experiences? It's safe to say that your awareness was in touch with your addiction. Self was not in control of your thoughts, hence, you knew how to keep the addiction spiral going. Now, fast forward to right now, this second. You are in control of your thoughts, and you are becoming aware of what places, and people who are safe for you, right? This is called recovery awareness. Controlling your thoughts, becoming aware of your surroundings allows self to be in your health and in the moment. You are aware of the red flag behavior and are choosing not to engage in that unhealthy life style. Recovery awareness is a thought that transitions into a healthy behavior that only self can control! You know you can use, gamble, purge, and have unhealthy sexual behavior, but, you are choosing not to. If feels great being able to implement recovery awareness in your life. The risk versus reward thinking diminishes. Self begins to slow down their impulsive thoughts and think things through when they use recovery awareness. You begin to develop healthy recovery skills that help keep you balanced when you are in a risk situation. These new recovery skills include daily journaling, exercising, eating healthy, and finding a support group or a support team for you to engage in. Going back to school may be a healthy skill that you are working on to improve your education. It feels positive when self can identify with their own recovery awareness routine. You may share your skills with other addicts who need the extra support to help them navigate a recovery awareness path. A new confidence is being built in your body, and you are the builder! Stay in your health, stay in the moment.
