Coping with Holiday's
Hello everyone,
Wondering how folks are looking to cope with the upcoming holiday. Most holidays revolve around food and I'm wondering if people wouldn't mind sharing some healthy coping strategies :)
Even though I am in recovery, I still have urges. For me the thing I do is I use a coping skill called urge surfing and that helps me so much and keeps me on the right track! I made a forum post on it that you can go to by clicking here but basically its knowing you have the urge, accepting that you have it and doing something to help ride it out
It's been really hard. Literally as soon as the holiday started I started eating sweets and I've just had so many and I hate it and I don't know what's going to happen. I'm just sick of sweets but I still had a bunch tonight at dinner and I haven't been to the gym in awhile and tomorrow I want to go I'm just worried I don't know. I just feel like I'm eating normally sometimes and ok with it but other times I'm not and I don't know what to do
