Tips for Maintaining Sobriety After Rehab
Maintaining sobriety is an ongoing journey that begins the day you walk out of your rehab facility. A good rehab program will offer extensive aftercare options, so you’re not alone in your quest to stay sober. Liberty Bay Recovery provides essential aftercare services for our rehab and detox program clients to support their ongoing recovery.
Here are some other ways you can maintain sobriety after rehab:
Stay Focused on the New You
You’ve overcome destructive habits and patterns and created a better, healthier life! Stay on that positive track by trying new, health-building experiences. Focus on exercise and nutrition. Start a morning meditation practice. Keep those old habits in the past and move forward with new ones.
Eliminate Toxic People
If you were in a codependent relationship before rehab, move on from that relationship. Stay away from people who bring you down or will tempt you to drink again. Work on building healthy relationships with other healthy, sober people.
Manage Your Finances
Financial security is important to our overall health. Paying down credit card debt, even if it’s just a little at a time, will motivate you. Saving a small amount from each of your paychecks can also give you a boost and encourage you in other areas.
Keep Calm
Know there are going to be days when you are tested. Instead of reaching for a drink, reach for the phone. Call a trusted friend or reach out to a compassionate counselor at Liberty Bay Recovery.
Celebrate!
How long have you been sober? Maybe it’s been six weeks, six months, or six years. Regardless, celebrate your achievement in a healthy way. Treat yourself to a massage or a delicious fruit smoothie. You’ve come a long way, and you deserve recognition!
These are just some of the ways you can stay sober after finishing rehab. If you feel you need more support, the caring professionals at Liberty Bay Recovery are just a phone call away.
Tips for Staying Sober Long Term
Staying sober long-term is possible! In fact, if you’ve made it through the beginning period of sobriety, you’ve already proven to yourself that you’re committed to living sober and that you can do it! As you continue on this rewarding path of long-term sobriety, here are some additional tips to help you stay focused after attending an inpatient drug treatment program:
Keep Healthy Routines
The healthy practices you incorporated in your life after rehab will continue to serve you in the long term. Aim to maintain a structured schedule as best you can. Carve out times for work and recreation, as well as healthy practices, like a daily two-mile walk.
