The supermarket and thoughts surprise

You are in a supermarket, the supermarket symbolizes your mind, and your thoughts are represented by other shoppers. While shopping, some other shoppers pass you quietly while others make critical and distracting comments about the shop and items, or shout at each other whilst you are there. sad

You can choose how you react, keep your attention focussed on your shopping or engage with them and start moaning or fighting as well. Same applies to your thoughts, you can decide how to respond to critical thoughts.

enlightened How do you usually react?

Nice to hear that you learned not to get caught up by such distractions but concentrate of what your priority is, it's a very helpful skill yes

I used to get high and and drown everything out. I was numb and liked it that way. Now that' I'm sober I usually call my rehab counselor or a listener when I'm overwhelmed. So far it's working.

@amiablePeace77

Thank you so much for your very nice post! It made my night! I very much like being sober but still find it a struggle sometimes. I think I can stay strong because I want to be but unfortunately have to reach out to others from time to time. I have been very fortunate to find some great support when I've needed it (there have been a few rocky moments!) and am extremely grateful to the amazing people I have met along the way, yourself included!!!💜

Thanks smiley.

I am glad you have support and do reach out, there is nothing wrong with asking for help, it shows strength and it is much better than doing something you would regret the next day. By staying sober you gift yourself a new life which can give you so much happiness.

Oh wow your post meant a lot to me tonight!!!! A friend called me after work and invited me to a party. I thought of the things you and some listeners have said to me about walking away and triggers! I wanted to go to the party but knew it was the wrong decision. So I walked away tonight, I wasn't 💯 % happy with my decision but now am so happy I walked!!! I am enjoying the mindfulness techniques I have been practicing and am getting better at dealing with difficult decisions. I want to keep coming here and learning more. And gift myself a new life!!!😊💜Thank. you so much for your help!!!

@amiablePeace77 usually I have learned to shop at a local family owned store that's pretty much empty except for me and the wonderful family running it! I'm friendly with everyone at that produce shop and smile a lot! And thank them all the time, for staying open, keeping me alive...
