7 Sober Hacks from someone with extremely severe ADHD.

Nourishing your inner child. Many of us had dreams of becoming a rockstar or astronaut growing up. Do whatever little steps it takes to work towards that goal again. Your greatest chance of recovery lies in being your authentic self. Slow motion is better than no motion. I want to be known for my artistry so I draw, paint, edit videos, DJ, etc. to respect this.

Therapy from a TRAUMA INFORMED professional. This is important for soothing whatever subconcious demons may be piloting you to use. Make sure you have a safe environment because like all therapy, you get worse before you get better. Also look for someone who does pay scale so you get rid of the "too expensive" excuse. If it isn't a good connection. Keep looking around.

"Higher Power" if you're reading this. There's a reason you are not dead. Whatever you think that is. You need to admit to yourself that's miraculous.

Sober Fellowships. Keep shopping around until you catch a vibe. This can be defeating at times but theres so many options online and in person. Doesn't matter what you used. All of them push the message of connection being the opposite of addiction. If you grow echausted of the god shit like me. Filter it out by replacing god with something that means a lot to you other than substances.

Exercise. Just like a small walk every day helps a lot. 15 mins.

Know that whatever you put before your recovery priority wise will be the first thing you will lose. Recovery is not only important it is life sustaining.If people leave your life, I know it hurts so bad, but I promise you good people will come in again. There's really something about once you are taking care of yourself it attracts other good people. This is way easier said than done I know. But I think this aspect alone is why recovery is the hardest thing you will ever do.

Patience and Persistence. Live one day at a time. You can plan in advance but only ask yourself. Hey what am I going to do today to get to tomorrow?
