Exercise is not a singular treatment for addiction, but it can be a helpful tool in recovery.
Feeling stuck in your recovery journey? Damon Frank and Kristina Dennis are here to help. In this episode of 'The Recovered Life Show', they dive into the transformative power of exercise in addiction recovery. While exercise isn't a magic bullet, it can be a game-changer. Research shows that rhythmic exercise releases dopamine, which can ease symptoms of depression and anxiety. Plus, it offers a meditative escape that can help calm the mind.
But beware—exercise itself can become addictive, so moderation is key. Damon and Kristina discuss how to find that balance and make exercise a positive part of your recovery. They also tackle the tough topic of complacency. Recovery isn't a one-and-done deal; it's an ongoing effort that requires new strategies and approaches. The hosts offer practical tips for getting unstuck when progress stalls. From setting healthy boundaries to engaging with online recovery communities, they cover it all.
One standout quote from Kristina sums it up: 'Complacency is because we want that hit...we need to connect with each other and make sure that we're not doing our recovery on our own'. Whether you're just starting out or have been on this path for years, this episode is packed with insights to help you live your best-recovered life.
