I think we need to take in the whole picture, because the things that really support us in staying balanced and not feeling like we need to reach for a substance are things that don't necessarily seem related to alcohol, like movement and the food that we're putting into our body and the meditation and breath work.
What if the secret to lasting happiness and recovery lies in holistic practices?
