changing your environment

Get your environment ready. Remove reminders of your addiction from your home, car and workplace. Get rid of all the bad stuff that goes along with the habit, as well as other items that remind you of the habit.

• Consider replacing the objects with items that help you feel positive and calm. Fill your refrigerator with wholesome food. Treat yourself to a few good books or DVDs guessing they don't contain content that could act as a trigger. Place candles and other pleasing items around the house.
• You might want to redecorate your bedroom, rearrange the furniture, or just buy a few new throw pillows. Changing your environment will give you the feeling of having a fresh start.
