Life after entering recovery involves much more than abstaining from drugs and alcohol. It is about changing the person’s lifestyle so they can function in their everyday life without the need of substances.
Many times, people in recovery deal with the mental aspect of their addiction but neglect the physical toll the abuse has put on their body. Drugs and alcohol harm the body as much physically as they do mentally. Getting back into or starting a new physical exercise routine is important for overall health and long-term sobriety.
