Many would agree that when in early recovery it's important to pick up healthy habits for your daily routine. These principles can be very beneficial to long-term recovery.
In this video addiction specialist Amber Hollingsworth interviews two young men in recovery (David McNease and Lucas Coleman-Socia). David and Lucas share their top 7 tips for maintaining long-term sobriety.
7 practices for successful recovery:
Motivation
Structure/Routine
Spirituality
Honesty
Accountability
Developing new hobbies & interests
These practices along with other tools you may develop and discover throughout your own journey, can provide a powerful groundwork for recovery. Let others know about your commitment to these practices, and ask friends and family to support your path.
