If you are reading this, then you or someone you love is in the process of recovery. Congratulations on deciding to get help and embark on the journey to sobriety! This blog post will serve as a reminder of all that you have accomplished in the last year and will help you continue the motivation to stay sober for many years to come.
Acknowledge How Far You Have Come
The path to recovery is never easy. It takes determination and perseverance to remain sober, but the rewards are worth it. Reflect on the successes you’ve made since starting your sobriety journey—whether that's reaching a milestone of sobriety or simply making healthier lifestyle choices. Regardless of how big or small, these successes are worth celebrating.
Remember that any mistakes you've made along the way are learning experiences. Reflecting on your mistakes is a crucial part of recovery and can be an opportunity for personal growth. You can also use mistakes as a reminder to stay focused and supportive of your recovery journey.
Set Goals for the New Year
Now is the perfect time to start setting goals for the upcoming year. Think about what you would like to accomplish, both in terms of recovery and personally. Consider things you’ve been wanting to do but haven’t had the chance or motivation to do thus far. Making a plan for the future helps you stay on track and can help keep you motivated to maintain your sobriety.
You can make use of goal-setting tools and habits such as:
- Writing your goals down
- Breaking them into smaller, achievable steps
- Creating a timeline for when you’d like to accomplish them
- Finding a support system to help keep you accountable
