How to use "Counter-acting" in context?
Countering any addiction involves different techniques for those who want to quit and those who want to stay sober.
Those who want to quit should, first and foremost, take care of themselves and their own physical and emotional health. They should try to create a supportive environment with friends and family and avoid going out alone. They should also work on resisting cravings by focusing on happier, healthy thoughts and activities.
If you are trying to stay sober, it is important to have a plan and to stick to it. You should set boundaries with your loved ones and stick to them.
