Relational Triggers

This week has been hard for me and I’ve faced some significant triggers. If you’re wondering how we can practice good recovery when life gets rocky, check out my responses to a couple difficult situations I faced this week:

Recovery on Your Bad Days

Relational Triggers

Life is really hard. Instead of reacting to life’s difficulties, may we learn how to find healthy comfort through the ways we respond to them.

Life after lust vlog

In my newest VLOG episode I shared some insights about the importance of resting well. This is a significant challenge for me and I know I am not alone. Those of us in recovery are especially vulnerable to choosing to numb-out when non-addictive relaxation is what we really need. If you also struggle in this area, I invite you to check out the video and consider how you can increase rest and decrease numbing-out behaviors. I believe this is the path to much-needed physical, spiritual, and mental renewal. Resting effectively is an essential recovery skill.

Today I had the idea to start making videos to educate others on significant recovery concepts while letting them know about my book. So, I jumped in feet first despite my nervousness and here is my first VLOG!

Life After Lust VLOG – The Importance of Healthy Eating in Recovery
