Resource Library

Use this library to explore mindfulness practices, recovery reflections, coping ideas, support groups, and books. Choose the resources that feel useful to you; you do not have to try everything.

These resources offer general support and are not a substitute for individualized medical or mental-health care. If a strategy increases distress or urges, it is okay to choose something else and discuss it with your treatment team.

Pillars of recovery and wellness

What to do when you feel a compulsion

  • Try a meditation or a few slow, comfortable breaths.
  • Journal about your feelings, goals, or gratitude.
  • If it feels supportive and fits your recovery plan, take a gentle walk.
  • Call or text someone you trust to share your thoughts and feelings.
  • Read a spiritual book or another book that brings you comfort.
  • Pray to a power greater than yourself, if that is meaningful to you.
  • Explore your emotions with curiosity rather than judgment.
  • Take a warm shower or try another soothing sensory activity.
  • Listen to a calming song or try a grounding exercise.
