Authors note: "This article below is powerful in its presentation of how far what we intended is/was from what we actually achieve. It plants firmly the seed that perhaps we don’t know what’s best and remaining humbly honest, open and willing is not something we outgrow but rather something we grow into more deeply and more profoundly." 🌿

Your body has carried you through so much, and now it’s finally time to give it a little grace.

In recovery, food is about more than just eating healthy; it’s about literally rebuilding yourself from the inside out. Replenishing those nutrients helps steady your moods, brings your energy back, and clears the fog so your mind can actually heal.

This isn't about following a strict diet or being perfect. It’s about slowly learning how to fuel the person you’re becoming because you’re actually worth the effort. 🍽️
