Self-care isn't selfish; it's vital for maintaining sobriety.
In this episode of Choose Recovery @ Cedarview Community Church, Carolyn dives into the critical topic of relapse prevention, offering a wealth of practical advice and spiritual guidance. Drawing parallels between preparing for a hurricane and preparing for potential relapse, Carolyn emphasises the importance of having a personalised plan. She breaks down the four essential areas to monitor: emotional, spiritual, physical, and relational well-being.
Using the acronym HEART (Hurting, Exhausted, Angry, Resentful, Tense), she helps you assess your emotional state and recognise triggers. Carolyn stresses that self-care isn't selfish; it's vital for maintaining sobriety. From improving your sleep habits to finding healthier ways to relax and reward yourself, she provides actionable tips to support your physical health. On the spiritual front, reconnecting with God through prayer, Bible study, and community is highlighted as a cornerstone of recovery.
Carolyn also underscores the necessity of having a strong support system, suggesting that sometimes tough decisions must be made about who to keep in your life. The episode wraps up with a focus on the five essentials of recovery: trusting Jesus, working the 12 steps, getting a sponsor, attending meetings, and serving others. Carolyn's straightforward yet compassionate approach makes this episode both informative and encouraging.
If you're looking for practical steps to strengthen your recovery journey and prevent relapse, this episode is a must-listen.
