Valentine’s Day can bring up a lot — love, loneliness, expectations, memories. If you’re in recovery, it can also bring stress or emotional triggers. 💗
Here are a few gentle reminders for navigating the day:
✨ Protect your peace. It’s okay to decline plans or limit social media if it feels overwhelming.
✨ Stay connected. Reach out to your sponsor, therapist, or supportive friends. You don’t have to do this alone.
✨ Create new traditions. Plan something that supports your recovery — a meeting, a workout, journaling, time with safe friends, or a self-care night in.
✨ Feel your feelings. Emotions aren’t setbacks. They’re signals. Acknowledge them without judgment.
Recovery is about building a life rooted in self-worth and healthy connection — and that includes the relationship you have with yourself.
Today, choose compassion over comparison. You are worthy of love exactly where you are. 💕
