Soul Recovery

Reasons-to-Stay-Sober-in-Difficult-Times

Addiction and drug abuse affect everyone involved.

The growing epidemic of substance abuse is sweeping the nation and interfering in many lives.

From seemingly innocuous substances such as marijuana to harder substances such as cocaine, black tar heroin, and everything in between, there are more and more available substances on the black market.

Every substance carries the potential for abuse and addiction regardless of the individual.

A survey conducted in 2018 by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) estimated that 21.2 million Americans need substance abuse disorder treatment, otherwise known as drug rehab.

However, only 3.7 million Americans received professional treatment..

Drug use seems to be rising. In 2018, approximately 31.9 million Americans reported using an illegal substance of some kind in the last month.

Recent studies also estimate that 27.2 million Americans have experienced alcohol or drug addiction at some point, and 20.2 million Americans have recovered or are in the process of recovery.

Many times, people in recovery feel that they struggle to find the happiness they once had before addiction.

Some find solace in pursuing the recovery of their soul.

This simply means that the individual seeks to find what makes them feel whole and happy, without having to rely on substances.

However, many people do not believe they have a problem with drugs or alcohol.

This is known as denial, and it is a detrimental factor holding people back from receiving the best treatment in order to regain sobriety and recovery for the soul.

The Process of Soul Recovery

The path to recovery varies as everyone’s history, situation and struggle is unique.

In drug rehab, recovery typically involves an effort to make amends with those you may have hurt as well as developing a shortlist of your triggers and resentments.

Triggers are stimuli that you associate with emotional distress and the temptation to use substances.

During treatment, you can analyze your behavior and thought processes with a clear, sober mind.

Ultimate freedom can be achieved by acknowledging the errors of past actions and behaviors when you were under the influence of addiction.

This freedom is essential to finding your way back to a healthy happy life, achieving recovery for your soul.

As you continue to live a sober life, you can act and speak with the confidence and self-esteem that your spirit had suppressed during addiction.

Recovery Solutions

Recovery from addiction is not a one-size-fits-all or cookie-cutter solution. Several treatments have been specifically developed to effectively treat many different people. For example, many drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs, including Alcoholic Anonymous, or AA, and Narcotics Anonymous, or NA, build a foundation around re-establishing lost trust from those you may have hurt with your addiction.
One of the main concepts of these programs is the ideology of submitting to a higher power. Typically, this includes recovering or rediscovering your identity or soul prior to addiction. These programs reintroduce you to yourself as a renewed person who has a healthy way of coping, thinking, and behaving. Additionally, these programs are designed to help restore broken relationships with family and friends.

How To Become Yourself Again

Recovery from drug addiction is difficult, yet achievable. Recovery means choosing to abstain from psychoactive substances because of the negative consequences experienced.
Many drug rehab programs reinforce positive values and the belief that a life free from the grip of drugs and alcohol is possible. Nutritional sustenance and exercise also play a key factor in recovery.
Once you have changed your behavior and thinking to lead a sober life, you may find yourself wondering what replaces the role of drugs in your life. The good news is that there are plenty of things you can do to help you remain on the path of recovery.
You can choose to partake in an abundance of activities and hobbies that were not possible when you were controlled by addiction.

Five Activities and Hobbies for Soul Recovery

1) Meditation

Perhaps you haven’t given meditation a second thought, but it helps many people find peace in their lives. Meditation is a transformative and productive activity. You can meditate on the thoughts of the simplicities of your life or life in general to the most difficult of things to process.
The idea of meditation is to reflect, relax, and feel at ease about the things going on in your life. You can meditate from almost anywhere, from your floor to your bed, and for any amount of time. Many people use soothing background noise and close their eyes while they meditate.

2) Yoga

One of the primary reasons that people practice yoga is to reduce stress and alleviate anxiety. Yoga can be soothing and healing, as well as challenging. You will learn to channel the energy in your body by performing a series of exercises, ranging from beginner to expert.

3) Talk to Someone

This may seem like an obvious tip, but it can be difficult to keep all your anxiety bottled up. Anxiety thrives off of loneliness and denial. Talking to someone can help relieve your anxiety.
Having a listening ear to help you through the challenges of life. You should never feel silly or ashamed for seeking out someone to talk to about your anxiety, as it is something we all experience. Being alone with your anxiety does not help your recovery.

4) Try Out a New Hobby

Hobbies are a great way to replace old, damaging habits with new, healthy alternatives. You may discover a talent you never knew you had, or you can learn a new skill. Activities can keep you engaged as well as help reduce extreme anxiety from alcohol and drug recovery.
Some suggested activities include jogging, gardening, reading, painting, listening to podcasts, biking, cooking, or learning new things. The options are limitless, and so is your ability to stay sober and conquer anxiety when it strikes.

5) Start Journaling

Begin to explore the world of journaling. Writing your thoughts down on paper can help you reflect on what is important to you and how you perceive things. You can return to older entries and see how you have changed.
Additionally, your journal is not for anyone other than yourself. You can write anything you want. It is a free, non-judgmental zone where you are safe to be who you want to be. Journaling is a great way to relieve stress while maintaining your sobriety.
