What are Some Anchors of Recovery?

Some Anchors of Recovery:

Social Support and Mentors: Social and peer support groups, as well as sponsors and mentors can help guide you during difficult times in your recovery.

Keeping Busy: Learning to schedule activities and structure your recovery is important

Plan enjoyable activities
Set manageable goals

However, it is important to understand that keeping up with goals and constantly guarding yourself from relapse can be exhausting. Don’t overload yourself – know your limits and check with how you are feeling.

Spirituality: Generally, spirituality refers to a person’s values and attitudes. It can also refer to someone’s relationship with a higher power or religion. Gaining a sense of spirituality (setting goals, defining your values on how you want to live your life) can bring you peace and help fill a void, perhaps a void that you used to use substances to fill.
