“Sometimes you’ve just got to give yourself what you wish someone else would give you.” — Dr. Phil
What we tell ourselves directly impacts how we think, feel, and act. And our thoughts, feelings, and actions have a direct impact on our health and lives.
So, It is important to have powerful affirmations for recovery during difficult situations such as addiction, abuse, healing your body, or promoting a healthy mindset.
If you hear something enough times, even if you don’t believe it at first, you might start to believe it. Affirmations are more than just wishing for things to be better. They are powerful statements that can help you make real changes.
You might think quitting is too hard or that using drugs or alcohol is the only way to handle difficult feelings. But positive thoughts can lift you up, just like negative thoughts can bring you down. It’s not always easy, and using positive affirmations can be challenging. But simply telling yourself that you can do it is a big step forward.
Starting something new can be tough, especially if you’ve never done it before. Saying positive recovery affirmations might feel strange at first, especially if you say them out loud. But with practice, using the statements below, you’ll get the hang of it. As you get used to these affirmations, you can start making your own based on what you want to achieve.
Here are 125 positive affirmations for recovery to help you get started. By using them, you’re training your brain to be more hopeful and confident in your ability to recover.
