Feeling restless, irritable, and discontented? Ask yourself: Am I hungry, angry, lonely, or tired?
Ever felt restless, irritable, or just plain discontented while on your sobriety journey? In this episode of Tumi's Daily Grind, Tumi Dumasi shares a lifesaving tool that can help prevent relapse: the H.A.L.T acronym. Tumi wears a bracelet with the letters H.A.L.T, which stand for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, and Tired. This simple yet effective method helps you check in with yourself and address these basic needs before they spiral into something more serious. If you're hungry, grab a bite.
Feeling angry? Talk it out with someone who understands. Lonely? Go out for coffee, even if it's just by yourself. And if you're tired, take a break or a nap. Tumi also adds an extra 'T' for Thirsty, reminding you to stay hydrated as dehydration can mimic feelings of irritability and restlessness. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Tumi illustrates how this acronym can be a game-changer in maintaining sobriety.
So, if you're looking for a straightforward and relatable approach to relapse prevention, this episode is definitely worth a listen. Give it a try and see how H.A.L.T can make a difference in your recovery journey.
