STRESS:

Inevitably, there are times of stress in our lives, no
matter how long we've been in recovery.

Sometimes, the stress is outside or around us.
We're feeling balanced, but our circumstances are
stressful. Sometimes, the stress is within; we feel
out of balance.

During stressful times, we can rely more heavily on
our support systems. Our friends and groups can
help us feel more balanced and peaceful in spite of
our stressful conditions.

Affirming that the events taking place are a
temporarily uncomfortable part of a good, solid
plan can help.

It helps to go back to the basics – to focus on
detachment, dealing with feelings, and taking life
one day at a time.

Our most important focus during times of stress is
taking care of ourselves. We are better able to be
there for others, if we're caring for ourselves. We

can ask ourselves regularly: What do we need to
do to take care of ourselves?

Self-care may not come as easily during times of
stress. Self-neglect may feel more comfortable.
But taking care of ourselves always works.
