As Wellness Week comes to a close at our center, we’re reminded that recovery is about so much more than sobriety—it’s about thriving.

This week, we explored how wellness fuels lasting recovery: moving our bodies, nourishing ourselves with good food, building healthy routines, and connecting with community.
Recovery is a journey, and wellness is one path that can carry you forward. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress, compassion, and showing up for yourself each day.

Your physical health matters. Your mental health matters. Your story matters.

Keep choosing wellness. Keep choosing yourself.

Recovery gives you a fresh start—and that includes nourishing your body with the fuel it needs to heal.

Addiction takes a toll on your physical health, often depleting essential nutrients and disrupting your body’s natural balance. Good nutrition helps repair that damage and supports your recovery in powerful ways:
• Stabilizes mood and reduces anxiety
• Increases energy and mental clarity
• Strengthens your immune system
• Helps regulate sleep patterns
• Supports brain healing and function
Every healthy meal is an act of self-care. Every nutritious choice is you choosing yourself.
You don’t have to be perfect—just start adding more whole foods, stay hydrated, and be patient with yourself. Your body knows how to heal when you give it what it needs.

What’s a healthy food that makes you feel your best?

The connection between addiction and domestic violence is real—and understanding it can save lives.

Studies show that substance abuse is present in 40-60% of domestic violence incidents.

Here’s what’s important to know: addiction doesn’t *cause* abuse, but it can escalate dangerous situations and create additional barriers for survivors trying to leave.

For those in recovery, healing from addiction often means also addressing trauma, learning healthy relationship patterns, and breaking cycles of harm. Recovery can be a powerful step toward safety—both for survivors and for those committed to changing abusive behaviors.

**If you or someone you know needs help:**
- National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233
- SAMHSA National Helpline: 1-800-662-4357

Healing is possible. Safety is possible. You don’t have to face this alone.

When you’re in recovery, exercise becomes so much more than just a workout—it’s a powerful tool for transformation.

Physical fitness helps to:

-Reduce cravings and manage stress naturally
-Boost your mood through endorphin release
-Improve sleep quality and energy levels
-Build confidence and self-esteem
-Create healthy routines and structure
-Reconnect you with your body in a positive way
Whether it’s a morning walk, yoga, swimming, or hitting the gym—every movement is a step forward in your recovery journey. You’re not just getting stronger physically; you’re building resilience, discipline, and hope.

Start where you are. Move in ways that feel good. Celebrate every step.

What’s your favorite way to move?

Recovery is like learning to be the star of your own show instead of the understudy in everyone else's drama

Some days you forget your lines. Some days you nail the performance. But every day you're getting better at playing the role you were meant for—yourself.

The audience is cheering for you.

The caterpillar didn't know it was going to become a butterfly

Recovery is like that too. You start in the dark, feeling stuck, thinking this cocoon phase will never end... then one day you realize you've been growing wings all along.

Your metamorphosis is happening, even when you can't see it.
