Self-Care in Recovery: Finding Strength and Balance

Self-care is not selfish. By taking care of yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually, you are better equipped to face the challenges of addiction recovery and live a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Feeling overwhelmed by the constant battle with addiction? In this episode of '99Relapses', James Egidio, a seasoned Christian recovery coach, dives into the often-overlooked topic of self-care in addiction recovery. When struggling with addiction, it's easy to put everything else on the back burner, including our own well-being. James reminds us that self-care isn't a luxury; it's a necessity for anyone looking to lead a healthier, more fulfilling life.
He emphasizes that neglecting self-care can make it harder to overcome addiction, as we might prioritize our substance of choice over our physical, emotional, and spiritual health. James offers practical tips that are easy to incorporate into daily life, such as ensuring you get enough rest, eating nutritious foods, and engaging in regular exercise.
He also highlights the importance of seeking therapy or counseling to address underlying emotional issues and practicing stress management techniques like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or journaling. But it doesn't stop there. James also explores how cultivating a deeper sense of faith or spirituality can provide a strong foundation for recovery. By taking care of ourselves in these holistic ways, we can become stronger and better equipped to face the challenges that come with addiction recovery.
This episode is perfect for anyone who feels like they're juggling too many balls and needs a reminder that self-care is a crucial part of the recovery journey.
