Spiritual Adrenaline: Self-Care As A Spiritual Path
Self-care is the complete opposite of active addiction. In active addiction, I ate sometimes, didn’t care what I ate and when I did, ate mostly sweets and comfort foods. I never focused on my body and its needs. Exercise also doesn’t fit well into active addiction. When I was using, getting out of bed with hangover to go to the gym was not an option. My only exercise was running around all stressed out and embarrassed about missing deadlines, family parties and other social functions. For me and many, my early recovery lifestyle wasn’t all that different. I abstained from drugs and alcohol but did not really focus on changing the people, places and things that came with active addiction. Because outside issues really do matter, I teach you how to integrate exercise and nutrition into your existing recovery program. By working your program and integrating a self-care lifestyle, you will supercharge your recovery and find true health and happiness. Self-care really is a spiritual path.
