@thedenisepotter: Today, I am 1,370 days sober. The time and energy I previously used to drink four years ago, was used on creating my very own piece of Heaven, my Zen Den 😍🧘🏼‍♀️ When I realized triggers were happening more frequently despite NEVER watching the news, I had to come up with a game plan. I had to become aware of HOW I was dealing with my anxiety, which was scrolling social media. Four years ago, it would have been a drink … or 10. 😬👀 So please believe me when I say I GET IT. That’s why it’s so important to have a game plan that you can stick to when your first thought is to grab a drink. Something I’ve been doing lately is finding a project around the house. When I feel myself begin to zone out or commence a downward spiral, I stop, breathe, & ask myself what triggered it. I acknowledge my feelings because they are ALWAYS valid & then get up to work on a project. Each day, it’s different. 👑 This has been the best thing for my mental health! Not only am I dealing with my feelings instead of numbing them, I’m channeling my creative side & crushing my to do list all at the same time! If this helped, drop a 💜 to let me know! And def share with your friends who may be feeling the same. 😞 Remember, your sobriety comes FIRST along with your mental health. They really go hand in hand. Sending you so many hugs right now with my Care Bear Stare. 😏💯😘💕 #triggerred #sheshed #soberencouragement #sobersupport #sobertiktok #genxmom #genxtiktokers #genxcrew
