In early recovery from alcohol or drug use, cravings are often the body’s way of signalling that something is out of balance.

Research shows these cravings can be triggered by a mix of physical, emotional and environmental factors such as poor sleep, low blood sugar, stress and dehydration.

During recovery, the brain is still recalibrating after long term substance use. This can make cravings feel stronger and more urgent than usual.

That is why getting the basics right matters more than people think.

• Regular meals help keep blood sugar stable
• Hydration supports brain and body function
• Daily routines reduce stress and decision fatigue
• Rest improves emotional regulation
• Consistent support reminds you that you are not alone

When the body begins to settle, the mind often follows. Over time, what once felt urgent can begin to ease. If you are looking for a safe, structured place to rebuild these foundations, Gunnebah offers that support.

Withdrawal is often imagined as a purely physical experience, but it affects much more than the body.

Changes in sleep, mood, focus and decision-making are common, and can make early recovery feel overwhelming without the right support.

That’s why a structured, calming environment matters so much. With routine, guidance and a safe space to settle, the process becomes more manageable and less frightening.

If you or someone you care about is preparing for change, you don’t have to face it alone.

Relapse doesn’t mean failure. It doesn’t erase progress or invalidate the effort someone has already made. Recovery is a process, and like any long-term change, it can involve setbacks.

In reality, relapse is common and often part of the journey. It’s not a sign that someone didn’t try hard enough or that treatment was wasted.

It’s a sign that something more is needed whether that’s additional support, new strategies, or deeper insight into what triggered the slip.

At Gunnebah, we don’t view relapse as the end of recovery.

We see it as an opportunity to reflect, adapt, and move forward with greater awareness. Each time someone chooses to recommit to their health and wellbeing, they’re still moving in the right direction.

Lasting change takes time. And no one has to walk that path alone.

Set in the tranquil Northern Rivers, our walking paths offer more than just a beautiful view.

Daily walks through open paddocks, forest tracks and peaceful streams are a quiet yet powerful part of the recovery journey at Gunnebah.

Walking supports physical health, improves mood, reduces stress hormones and boosts mental clarity.

Even a short walk has been shown to lower anxiety and improve sleep which is why our guests often describe these daily moments as some of the most healing during their stay.

Hello 2026 🎉

This time of year is full of bold resolutions but sometimes, the most meaningful change starts with just one day.

This January, shift the focus away from all-or-nothing goals and bring it back to what’s in front of you.

Start the morning with intention:
Ask yourself - what's one decision today that supports your wellbeing?

Picture yourself making it through the day. Notice the small wins. Acknowledge the ones that challenge you. Celebrate progress, not perfection.

Real change happens one day at a time and January is a great time to begin.

Labyrinth walking is a powerful practice we offer at Gunnebah to support reflection and stress reduction during recovery.

Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has no wrong turns. It follows a single path that leads to the centre and then guides you back out again.

This gentle, meditative walk can calm the nervous system and help you reconnect with your sense of self and purpose. It’s not just symbolic. It is a mindful, physical experience that many guests find grounding and deeply meaningful.

Sometimes, a quiet walk is all it takes to begin seeing things differently.
