works to keep you sober. |

Addictive and compulsive behaviors stay alive on
only one food, anxiety.
The more
chronic anxiety in your life, the more active
your addictive and compulsive behaviors.
Anxiety management controls any addiction.
Keeping anxiety low starves the addiction. Focusing
on relapse prevention to stay sober is like thinking
about poverty to get and stay rich. To stay sober,
do the things sober people do: live healthy 24/7.
The source of chronic, high anxiety is a lifestyle
of neediness.
When you do
not meet your needs on a regular bases, you are
anxious all the time. High anxiety does not feel
good and people addict to feel better. To keep
anxiety down, take good care of yourself on a
regular basis and meet all your needs.
To meet your needs and take good care of self on a
consistent basis, you must be alert, conscious,
willing and able to focus daily
on the task
of taking action for yourself in each slice of the
Pie of Life. This may require learning new patterns
in your life that can keep you awake to your self
and your needs.
When attending to your needs becomes a matter of
fact and characterizes your lifestyle, anxiety
lowers and stays low.
With this comes better balance between critical
opposites such as your inner and outer worlds,
yourself and others, and separateness and
togetherness in relationships. With balance in your
life, you are able to avoid extremes that generate
anxiety.
Success with regular self-care builds the structure
that channels the natural and powerful energy of
recovery
into your life. This sustains recovery by using
the path of least resistance.
