Halloween can be a tricky time when you’re in recovery. It’s easy to fall into the “I have to earn this candy” mindset or feel like enjoying treats comes with strings attached. But here’s the truth: you don’t have to justify joy.
🍬 Trick: Thinking you need to restrict, “earn,” or feel guilty for enjoying sweets.
🍭 Treat: You deserve to celebrate, indulge, and experience the fun of the season — guilt-free.
This year, let Halloween be a reminder that recovery isn’t about giving up treats or pleasure — it’s about giving yourself permission to be fully present, to enjoy the little things, and to treat yourself with kindness. 💛
