Meditation can be an effective tool in addiction recovery as it can help to reduce stress and anxiety, both triggers for substance use. Additionally, meditation can help to improve self-awareness and emotional regulation, potentially beneficial for addressing the underlying issues contributing to the addiction. Meditation can also help those in recovery to develop a greater sense of inner peace and well-being, and increased motivation to maintain recovery and make positive changes in their lives. Meditation may also help to reduce cravings and increase self-control. The practice of meditation may also help those in recovery to manage negative thoughts and emotions.
