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.
