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.

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.

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.
