When Things Don’t Go As Expected
Even if you’re working hard on yourself in recovery, you’re bound to experience moments that feel like “failures.” This is part of life, so it’s also part of recovery. Don’t Push the Feeling Aside Feelings of failure are often tied to disappointment. You have an expectation of how things will work out, and they don’t […]
Fear of Missing Out in Recovery
FOMO (fear of missing out) is kind of a jokey term, but the feelings behind it are human and valid. People want to feel like they belong. Connection is important, and it’s helpful for those of us in recovery to prioritize relationships and bonding. This is why support systems are so important. Getting Sober and […]
Coping With Guilt in Recovery
Many of us in recovery have guilt about things we said or did (or didn’t say or do) during active addiction. We are not always in full control of our actions when we are drinking or using, so we often act in ways that don’t align with our values. Addiction can also lead to secrecy, […]
Figuring Out Your Values in Recovery
During active addiction, It’s often hard to stick to your values. Things like intimacy, honesty, relationships, supporting others, being creative, and finding meaning often get tossed aside when drugs or alcohol are most important. Sometimes we spend so much time using or recovering from substances that even figuring out what our values are gets sidetracked. […]

Some people experience the pink cloud, which is when you feel euphoria in early sobriety. Things eventually settle and you start to experience all the firsts in recovery. Then what were once […]
Self-Soothing in Addiction and Recovery
In recent years, the idea of addiction as an urge to self-soothe has gained traction. Addiction has historically been seen as self-destructive, but it can mean taking care of ourselves in the best way we know at the time. We think we’re protecting ourselves from emotional pain, but active addiction ends up causing more pain. […]
Memory and Recovery
Memory is a strange thing when it comes to recovery. Triggers are essentially memories-circumstances, people, places, or feelings that your brain has come to associate with drinking or using. But for many of us, memories from when we were intoxicated are distorted and fragmented. In recovery, we can feel grateful that we’re able to remember […]
Expressing Your Feelings in Recovery
Sometimes during active addiction, the only time we allow ourselves to express emotions is when we’re under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Then it comes out distorted, and we might say or do things we regret. We might not even allow ourselves to feel our emotions at all. In recovery, we have a chance […]
