i’m a HUGE believer in the power of positivity & positive affirmations.
that being said, i’m kinda having trouble thinking up some affirmations to help me in my recovery. anybody else have any ideas?

Gratitude is key to me. Making a gratitude list every morning has conditioned my mind to count my blessings when everything doesnt go my way or i feel out of control

My favourite i use during meditation is “strength surrounds me, love guides me, peace fulfils me”. Used this last week whilst at the dentist and helps to keep me calm😊

Cheryl B. Engelhardt has a series with music of affirmations that I return to on occasion. The theme is that we are our own source of light - “I am a luminary”.

“Its easier to keep a tiger in a cage than on a leash.” - reminds me that just having one is not an option or possible
“Remember your why” - reminds me of the beneftis of sobriety and the cons of drinking
“I’m not a drinker, so I am not going to drink” - helpful at social events where I used to be accustomed to having a drink
I have the spiritual toolkit app and any of the prayers on there are helpful ways to start the day. They also have a daily reflection for alcoholics anonymous that is also a good way to start the day
Hopefully these help, sending good vibes!

Sometimes I just simply remind myself
“I am capable and I am ready for the good life will bring.”

Never again. And there’s nothing bad that using would make much, much worse.
