Wellness Wednesday: Building Healthy Habits in Recovery 🌿

Recovery isn't just about staying sober—it's about creating and sustaining healthy habits that nourish your mind, body, and spirit.

Here are a few tips to practice wellness during your recovery journey:

✨ Mindfulness & Meditation: Take a few minutes each day to focus on the present moment. Mindfulness can reduce stress, anxiety, and strengthen your overall well-being.

🏃 Physical Activity: Even gentle exercise like walking, yoga, or biking boosts mood and energy levels, helping you maintain balance during recovery.

🥗 Healthy Eating: Nourish your body with nutritious foods. Healthy eating supports mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical strength.

🤝 Community Connection: Build meaningful relationships. Fellowship provides crucial support, accountability, and encouragement through every stage of recovery.

There is an undeniable link between trauma and substance abuse. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIDA) shows that the percentage of people diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) throughout their lifetime is around 7%. However, in the substance-dependent population, this percentage increases dramatically — various studies show that 25-42% of people receiving treatment for substance use disorder also have PTSD.
