✒ Self-Care Hacks ✒

In the world of recovery, there's one secret that could totally change your game: Give it away to keep it. Sounds like a magic trick, right? But nope—this is a legit sober hack that will boost your mental health while you help others.

You don’t have to empty your bank account to make a difference. You can donate your time, energy, and even clothes you forgot you owned (seriously, when was the last time you wore that neon green hoodie?). Organize a clothing drive, volunteer at a recovery center, or start a scholarship fund for someone who wants to get clean. Every little bit you give away can make a massive impact—on others and on you.

Why does this work, you ask? Well, studies show that doing good for others actually helps you feel better yourself. A study from the National Institutes of Health found that helping others increases feelings of happiness and reduces stress. When we give, we release dopamine—the same “feel-good” chemical triggered by a bite of chocolate or a winning lottery ticket. So, in short, you’re basically getting a happiness high, minus the hangover.

Plus, giving back helps you focus on something bigger than yourself. When you're stuck in the weeds of addiction, it's easy to feel isolated and self-centered. But when you shift your focus to helping others, you’re not only improving your community—you’re improving your own sobriety journey too. It's like hitting two birds with one stone (but, you know, without the violence...just good vibes).

So, next time you think you’re not in a position to help, remember: even the smallest contribution to a sober cause can give you back a whole lot more than you expect.
