The 17 Hashtags Every Person in Recovery Needs

via wifflegif.com

Pretty much anyone who’s currently in recovery can identify with at least a couple of these. Here are the 17 hashtags every person in recovery needs (at one time or another).

1. #AllMyMoneyGoesToFoodAndVapes

via wifflegif.com

Pretty much a booming trend among the recovery community. Can’t go to a meeting, the coffee shop, or anywhere else without seeing at least a couple of people with a vape.

2. #TobaccoHangover

via wifflegif.com

One of the few vices we have left, besides coffee, smoking is a social thing. Sometimes we over-indulge – who am I kidding, we’re addicts, of course we over-indulge, with everything – such as a night spent out…

3. #AtTheHookahBar (see what I did there?)

via wifflegif.com

Again, a place to gather socially. Many of us in recovery don’t really hang out in conventional bars, so we might spend a Friday or Saturday night #AtTheHookahBar .

4. #IHaveToAnswerItsMySponsor

via wifflegif.com

Besides vaping, many of us are no longer addicted to certain old behaviors but smart phones seem to have filled that void rather conveniently. Even if we’re trying to take a break from the cellie (see #11), if our sponsor is calling, we know we better answer it.

5. #OnAManBan/#OnAGirlBan

via wifflegif.com

Many of us in recovery have at some point or other decided to put ourselves on one of these or have had it suggested to us, either by our sponsor or other sober support. It sounds like a punishment at first but, it can be a really enlightening exercise in self-control and self-discovery.

6. #NeedStarbucks

via wifflegif.com

If it’s not nicotine (either in the form of an OG cigarette or the sleekest, newest vape), then it’s caffeine we crave. Meeting at the ‘bucks is an oft-practiced caffeine indulgence and social interaction.

7. #TimeForNewInk

via wifflegif.com

Let’s face it, tattoos are quite the popular thing amongst people in recovery. Usually, we like to reward ourselves for some new ink from time to time, especially if it feels like it’s been too long since the last one we got. But, be careful not to fall into one of these traps or you may find yourself using this next hashtag…

8. #IRegretMyRecoveryTattoo

via wifflegif.com

i’m all for “to each his own” but, i’m pretty sure this guy is on some kind of registry (if you catch my drift)

Many folks, in recovery or not, end up regretting their tattoo at some point or other. Be careful not to be too impulsive next time you take a trip to the tattoo parlor. Ha! Recovering addicts and alcoholics resisting impulsivity? Impossible!

9. #NeedToHitTheVapeStore

via wifflegif.com

With all hat vaping, running to the vape store becomes as commonplace as grocery shopping. It’s also a way to mix and match flavors and accessorize all the new gadgets. (I don’t really know what those are; I’m not a ‘vaper’)

10. #GymEqualsNewDrug

via wifflegif.com

Oh yeah, besides caffeine, nicotine, and smart phones, the gym is another popular outlet for those of us in recovery. It’s a good thing.

11. #AnybodyGotAnIphoneCharger

via wifflegif.com

personally, i prefer galaxy. #JustSayin

All that texting, snap-chatting, insta-gramming, pinning, and what-not tends to sap our phone battery. Better not stray too far without your charger or you might find yourself panicking that you will be without your phone the whole night.

12. #DesignatedDriver

via wifflegif.com

“you’re such a good friend”

Now that we’re clean and sober, we don’t have to worry about taking risks behind the wheel or getting caught up in a sobriety check-point. If you have a mixture of both normie and sober friends, then you know what it’s like to always be designated driver. Hey, you’re doing a good deed.

13. #StayInTheMiddle

via wifflegif.com

awe! poor kitteh!

Many people in a fellowship will say that doing this – staying in the middle – that is, immersing themselves in the fellowship, is what helped them in their recovery.

14. #GoHelpSomeone
