Addiction Quotes: Happiness In Addiction Recovery [POSTER]

Happiness in Addiction Recovery

Life is full of ups and downs. So is your recovery journey. In fact, the human life path is oftentimes associated with the mythical bird, the phoenix. This creature is known to rise from the ashes of fire after its own death, indicating an important positive transformation.

We think it is important to always be reminded of the fact that happiness is a choice. Healing the mind, body and soul from addiction is a process… not a destination. Therefore, looking for happiness on this journey can help you maintain a sober and happy life.

But happiness is not a permanent feeling. In order to keep your spirits up, we recommend that you pay close attention to the following aspects of your life:

HAPPINESS TIP 1: Cultivate relationship with friends and loved ones.

Make meaningful friendships and develop understanding and compassion. Nurture your friendships and spend as much time as you can sharing knowledge and experience. Staying in communication with the people that make you feel loved and is essential to building happiness in recovery.

HAPPINESS TIP 2: Prioritize your physical health, nutrition, and quality of sleep.

Negative moods are a major risk to your sobriety. In order to regenerate your mental and physical energy, stay active and engage in sport activities. You have lots of opportunities for sports. You can either attend a yoga class, visit the gym, or go running. Pick whatever suits you the best. Also, avoid sugar and deep fried foods. They are just as addictive as drugs, and lead to crappy states of mind. Finally, get 7-8 hours of good sleep per night. In times of trouble, look to homeopathic combos like Calms Forte or melatonin…rather than Ambien or Xanax.

HAPPINESS TIP 3: Find some hobbies.

Find an activity that makes you feel productive and fulfilled. You can either start reading poetry or start painting and exploring various crafts. Maybe make music or get outdoors. Even if you don’t have a particular skill feel free to experiment, you might get surprised from the things you are capable of doing. Hobbies can help you find the joy of flow, and this is a core component of happiness.
