Wisconsin SMART Recovery

💯

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Keep freaking going 💪🏼🔥

Remember the "time-bound " part especially, because without a set time to accomplish our goal, our promise of doing it "tomorrow" will be far less likely.

Look at you! 👀❤️👏

This has Unconditional Self Acceptance (USA) vibes.

Progress not perfection! ❤️

Click the thumbs up if you are interested in an online statewide meeting on Friday nights. I'm in the process of putting it together, but I just want to see if the interest is there. I know I'd love to connect with my fellow SMARTies and weekends can be tough.

Love this!

Butterflies instinctively know when it’s time to rest. During storms, they find a safe place and wait, protecting their delicate wings from harm. It struck me that maybe we should learn from them. Life’s storms can be relentless, and yet we push ourselves to keep going, often ignoring the need to pause and protect our own “wings.”

Resting isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom. It’s knowing that sometimes the best thing you can do is step back, gather your strength, and trust that you’ll soar again when the skies clear.

If you’re in the midst of a storm right now, I hope this serves as a gentle reminder: It’s okay to take a breath. It’s okay to find shelter. You’re not giving up - you’re healing.

And when the rain stops? You’ll spread those wings and fly again, stronger than before. Let’s all give ourselves the grace to pause when we need it 🩷

Thanks Word P**n for the inspiration x

The Unconditional Acceptances can be a game changer in how we emotionally regulate ourselves along our healing journey. The more tools we have in our toolbox, the better!
