Self-Care and Healthy Changes to Promote Recovery

So often we hear phrases from normies such as, “Just don’t pick up,” Or “Don’t take that first drink and you won’t get drunk.” Typically, addicts arrive into treatment like a bleeding victim in a hospital emergency room. The focus is all about stopping the bleeding, emergency surgery, monitoring blood pressure, and heartbeat. Then, when the patient is stabilized they transition to the ICU, and then to a lower care hospital room to rest and recover. Such is it with the addict and alcoholic.

12-step meetings may conjure up images of cigarette smoking, and coffee, cookies, and donuts. And although these 12-step meeting staples help the newcomer to deal with the jitteriness of getting sober, it can’t sustain us for very long before we are in need of some healthy lifestyle changes. Times have changed for the better regarding the impact of nutrition and health, and there is a plethora of information available at our fingertips informing us how to achieve a healthy state of mind, body, and spirit.

So, in recovery when does one, exactly, begin focusing on a healthy lifestyle which includes a balanced diet and physical exercise? The answer is immediately. But this doesn’t have to be an all or nothing way of life. Seeking balance is the main objective. Just because one doesn’t eat a healthy breakfast doesn’t mean that they can’t start over at lunch with healthier alternatives.

Reaching for a piece of fruit rather than a cookie every once in a while, drinking water in place of a sugary drink, eating healthy lean proteins rather than fast foods, all of these gradual changes make an impact on the recovering body, mind, and spirit.

Self-love and self-care at the key components here And, these changes don’t happen overnight but if you seek balance each and every day you will be well on your way in your new and healthier, clean and sober life!

Taking Recovery One Day at a Time

It has been used so often that sometimes it can seem that, “One Day At A Time,” is just an old, overused, cliche. In recovery from drug addiction and alcoholism, it becomes a comforting reality that all we have to do is to stay clean and sober one day at a time. To project that one can never drink alcohol or use drugs ever again is too much to fathom for those in early recovery, or at any stage in their recovery, for that matter.

We are given tools, support, meetings, sponsors, phone numbers, the 12 steps, and much more, to make it through each day. We learn that in recovery, all we have to manage is today. Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is not yet here. Today, our main focus is on how to stay clean and sober and help others to achieve sobriety.

Moments become more precious and we begin to be aware of how much beauty and good there really is in this world when we are clear enough to see it and embrace it. A beautiful sunset, the birds singing, catching one’e self laughing for the first time in a long time, letting others in. With each passing day in sobriety, we really do begin recovering physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Life becomes worth living again. And, we look forward to what each new day may bring.

We learn to do the “next right thing” in the program and leave the results up to a power greater than ourselves. We plant the seeds, water them, tend to them, and allow them the time they need to germinate and grow. Each day has 24 hours. Time for play, work, and rest. Each morning brings with it new possibilities.

And then seemingly out of nowhere, hope begins to blossom.
