    Communication: Reflect vs Reflex

    Communication: Reflect vs Reflex

    There are many ways to achieve long-term sobriety and happiness, but some people have trouble sticking with their plans because they don't have the right support system in place. If you're struggling with addiction or just want some tips on how to stay positive during recovery, look no further than these helpful resources.

    Sometimes what we need most is simply someone who will listen to us without judging or making assumptions about our situation. If someone is tearing down your efforts at being sober, try asking them why they think so little of you and see if there's something constructive they'd like to say instead of only pointing out what's wrong with what you've done so far. Never let anyone make you feel bad about yourself. Don’t judge others unless they ask for your opinion. If someone calls you a name or says something offensive, try not to take it personally, and don’t retaliate with insults of your own.

    Communication can be difficult when you are dealing with drug addiction because you may not always make sense when trying to communicate with others (or yourself). For example, if someone asks you why you were late for work and the reason was because of your addiction, it may not make sense to them because they don’t know what it feels like to be high or drunk. Try using reflective listening instead of communicating directly so that both parties understand each other better without getting frustrated or angry with each other.

    Addiction In Public

    Addiction In Public

    For many people, addiction is a taboo topic: we don't talk about it because it's embarrassing and awkward. But the reality is, addiction is a very real problem in the United States, for all sorts of people. From casual users who liked getting high so much they became dependent, to professionals and rock stars whose lives are on-and-off-stage examples of addiction. While the chasm between those extremes is vast, the stigma around addiction remains present in equal amounts.

    We're here to help you share your story, no matter how difficult it may be—and we want to hear yours! If you've ever been struggling with addiction or any other kind of personal challenge, or if you know someone who is, please reach out.

    Life is a journey.

    It's not a race. It's not a competition. And it certainly isn't a beauty contest.

    It's an opportunity to do your absolute best, each and every day, and to share your story of overcoming addiction with the world.

    Don't sweat the small stuff—sweat the big stuff: find what makes you happy, and go for it!

    Also, don't sweat the small stuff! We know it's tempting to get hung up on what other people think about you or things like that, but let's face it: who cares? What matters is how much time you spend working towards your goals and living your best life.

    Things Get Better Q&A

    Things Get Better Q&A

    You can change your life. You have the power to make the changes you want in your life. The first step is to be aware of what you are doing in your life and how it is affecting you. What behaviors do you want to change? Do you want to stop eating unhealthy foods? Do you want to stop smoking? Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to start exercising more? Do you want to stop drinking alcohol? Do you want to stop spending money on things that are not important? Once you know what it is that you want, then it's time for action! Make a plan and start working towards achieving your goals!

     Notice your negative thoughts. When you notice that you are thinking a negative thought, take a moment to recognize it for what it is — just a thought — and then let it go. Accept that the negative thought is not true. It’s important to realize that your negative thoughts don’t represent the truth about reality or other people. They are only your perceptions of events and other people, and they are not necessarily accurate. You can also remind yourself that everyone has good days and bad days; not everyone will feel like going out every time you suggest something fun together. Recognize when a situation is beyond your control and become an Agent of Recovery.

    The Best Defense is a Strong Offense

    The Best Defense is a Strong Offense

    This week the Agents, Max Hall, Brock Bevell and Blu Robinson, dive deep into the best defense is a good offense. This is an old adage that has been around since ancient times, and it is still true today. This means that if you want to win any kind of battle, you must be proactive and take the initiative. You must be prepared to attack, but also be ready to defend yourself. This means that you should focus on strengthening your own position and attacking any weaknesses your opponent may have. By doing this, you will be able to take control of the situation and put yourself in the best position to win.
