Holistic Self-Care Is Vital to a Healthy Recovery

The importance of balanced self-care cannot be overstated – both for you and for the addict you love.  When we take care of ourselves, we develop our self-respect, which in turn lowers our need for choosing addictive behaviours. Whether it’s you deciding to stop any enabling you might be doing, or your addict making the decision to go into recovery, a sense of self-care and self-respect will be the springboard for these healthy choices.
