Lesson Overview

1.07 – Emergency Coping Skills for Sobriety: When urges or panic rise suddenly, your brain switches into survival mode and forgets logic. Emergency coping skills are quick resets that return control before damage happens. Slow breathing, counting backward, or focusing on nearby physical details—like the texture of a wall—anchors you in the present. Keeping a short list of “safety actions” on your phone ensures help is one click away. Moving your body, drinking water, or stepping into fresh air can shift chemistry faster than arguing with your thoughts. Remind yourself that feelings are temporary, but actions create lasting results. Practicing these techniques daily turns crisis response into instinct. Support lines, apps, or safe contacts add extra backup when your strength feels low. The goal isn’t to erase distress but to outlast it safely. Each mastered skill becomes armor you carry everywhere, transforming sudden chaos into manageable moments of choice and clarity.
