Practice selfcare and self-love from "summary" of The Real Thirteenth Step by Tina B. Tessina

Taking care of yourself is crucial in your recovery journey. It may seem simple, but self-care and self-love are the foundation upon which your sobriety can truly flourish. When you prioritize your own well-being, you are better equipped to handle the challenges and triggers that may come your way. This means nurturing your physical, mental, and emotional health on a regular basis. Self-care involves setting boundaries and saying no when necessary. It means listening to your body and giving it what it needs, whether that's rest, nourishing food, or exercise. Self-love, on the other hand, is about treating yourself with kindness and compassion. It's about forgiving yourself for past mistakes and embracing who you are in the present moment. In the midst of your recovery journey, it's easy to forget about yourself and focus solely on staying sober. However, neglecting your own needs can lead to burnout and potential relapse. By practicing self-care and self-love, you are not only taking care of yourself but also setting a positive example for others around you. Remember that self-care is not selfish—it's necessary. When you take the time to prioritize your own well-being, you are better able to show up fully for yourself and those you care about. So, make yourself a priority, and watch as your recovery journey becomes more fulfilling and sustainable.
