Remember Mindfulness – breathe slowly
Vigilance
If you know that you are being tracked by a stalker, someone you once knew, someone you once enjoyed being with, but someone who ultimately had done you great harm – what will you do? Be proactive because doing nothing is dangerous. If you are in recovery, then you are being stalked – by your addiction. Here are some strategies to use:

• Plan each day carefully to keep yourself safe
• Have someone to turn to for help at any time
• Have a safe place to go to
• Always carry a phone to sound the alarm
• Avoid being alone
• Join a group of people with similar experiences
• Train yourself in self-defence
• Learn the art of saying ‘push off’ assertively
• Consider having counselling
  Do not underestimate the power of addiction to reclaim you. Am I being vigilant because addiction follows me?
  I must always remember that I am an addicted person, and that addiction is after me. I must always take the hunt seriously. It is not a game of hide-and-seek but a blood sport. I will need all the help that I can get. Today I ask my Higher Power that I will always remain vigilant to the threat of addiction.
