Some people just dont feel normal without drink or drug and this perpetuates their addiction. I think we need to ask ourselves why we don't feel normal without substances and also, if we're in early recovery, be prepared to give our brain and body the necessary time to stabilise without substances #recoverytok #addictionrecovery #addiction #sobertok

Yoga can be a great holistic resource for addiction recovery because it strengthens our connection with mind, body and spirit 🙏

For many of us, when we lose our addiction, we also lose our identity, and this can be very unsettling and evenp push us back into addiction. So in recovery it's important to recognise the identities we've created during addiction, so we can create a healthier sense of self. #addictionrecovery #recoverytok #addiction

These 3 common mistakes kept me in addiction for a long time. #addiction #addictionrecovery #recoverytok

Depression in early recovery is common because the reward centre that produces dopamine (the pleasure chemical) is temporarily offline, so we will suffer with low mood, lack of motivation and a sense of emptiness. It takes time for the brain to readjust to sobriety, but eventually the dopamine levels and receptors will find homeostasis. #addiction #addictionrecovery #recovery #recoverytok
