Recovery tools can really help you to cope if you suffer from drug and alcohol addiction. By taking the suggestions that are made in recovery, you can tremendously enhance your sobriety which can be instrumental in preventing you from relapsing. Building your own personalized toolbox can assist in enduring the ups and downs that life will bring about. Filling your toolbox with the appropriate tools will not only build up your self-esteem but also increase your confidence in your sobriety.

The 12-Steps

These life-changing 12 steps can be influential in helping you to grow in your recovery while teaching you how to connect to a Higher Power. Learning how to see your part and take responsibility for your past actions are crucial for you to let go of the pain and gain your experience, strength, and hope. By cleaning your insides out with the steps, you will eventually feel better mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Reaching out to others

Finding the support that you need is imperative for long-term sobriety. Getting sober alone rarely works because you need to be able to relate to others who are just like you. Once you meet people with the same story as you, getting their number and calling them is a good idea. Having certain people, including a sponsor, in place during a weak moment could really prove to be your saving grace.  

Being of service

There are so many different ways to be of service. When the phrase “it takes a village” came about, they could have been talking about the recovery community. Making coffee, setting up chairs, providing a 24-hour phone line for people to call, outreach committees, conventions, and financial endeavors all take volunteers to make these commitments run smoothly. Finding the service work that is calling you to make a difference will help you to become part of the group and provide a way for you to give back what was so freely given to you.

Your recovery toolbox will ultimately save your life. The key to your toolbox is to practice using your tools within your daily life because when you are in a difficult circumstance, you will be ready to automatically use the tools you have been already been applying to your life. Through trial and error, you will figure out what makes your recovery stronger while allowing you to grow into the person you were meant to be in your sobriety.
