The words we use about ourselves and our situations have a big impact — they affect how we see ourselves.
Have you ever thought about how you talk to yourself while recovering from addiction? You notice that some thoughts are negative. They are common, but when you ignore them they can make addiction recovery tougher.
Don’t worry, there are ways to make your self-talk better, like using affirmations for recovery from addiction. These are statements meant to change how you think and feel in a positive way, which can really help you in your recovery.
Psychologists say words create filters for how we see the world. They don’t change what’s happening, but they do change how we feel about it. When we feel bad emotions, we might want to go back to harmful addictions and behaviors.
But saying positive affirmations when we’re feeling down can help us fight those urges. They help us take control of our thoughts and feelings.
It’s hard to change our behavior without changing how we see ourselves. Affirmations for recovery from addiction help create a positive way of thinking that slowly changes how we see ourselves.
When we start to believe change is possible and say it to ourselves often, things start to get better.
Starting can be tough, especially if it’s new. It might feel strange at first, especially saying them out loud. But practicing affirmations can help you get used to it. Later, you can make your affirmations based on your goals and what you want.
Now, we’ll explore 125 simple affirmations for recovery from addiction that can boost your spirits and support your journey to getting better.
