Hola Sober Self Care (Pledge-90)

Eat Kindly....

We must incorporate this into our recovery strategy. We know alcohol affects everything from our brain to our skin and all organs in between and we need to respect our bodies on the way back up the wine glass. The reality is that recovery is all about self-care and in order to break free of the wine years, we must focus on our own health and take all of the actions necessary to increase our chances of being successful at sober living. While the damage from our wine o'clock years can’t be undone overnight, a nutritious and wholesome diet can speed up the process. Eating properly will give you more energy, improve your immune system, and boost your mood.

During a recent conversation with a wonderful woman, I suggested she adopt a gentle approach to eating, considering her body had endured the effects of alcohol for a prolonged period. Now is the moment for rejuvenation and compassion, both inside and out. Initially, my focus in early sobriety was solely on abstaining from wine. However, as time passed, I became increasingly mindful of consuming a nourishing, balanced diet comprising wholesome, nutritious foods. I've discovered that maintaining a healthy diet not only enhances mood and sleep but also establishes a more consistent routine for anyone transitioning away from alcohol.

This week eat kindly as you say not today lady, not today.
