So much stigma surrounds addiction β€” and too often, that stigma keeps people from reaching out for help. At Meridian Health Services, we’re breaking down the myths that stand in the way of recovery. πŸ’š

🚫 Myth: Addiction is a choice.
βœ… Fact: Addiction is a chronic brain disease β€” not a moral failure.

🚫 Myth: You have to hit β€œrock bottom” before getting help.
βœ… Fact: Early treatment saves lives. Recovery can start today.

🚫 Myth: People with addiction don’t want to get better.
βœ… Fact: Many do β€” they just need compassion and access to care.

🚫 Myth: Relapse means failure.
βœ… Fact: Relapse can be part of the process β€” every step forward counts.

🚫 Myth: Addiction only affects certain people.
βœ… Fact: It can impact anyone β€” regardless of age, background, or status.

🚫 Myth: Life in recovery is boring.
βœ… Fact: Recovery brings purpose, freedom, and peace β€” it’s life fully lived.

If you or someone you love is struggling, help is available.

Did you know sugar cravings can spike during early recovery? While it might feel harmless, too much sugar can actually interfere with healing.

Here’s why it’s important to watch your sugar intake in recovery:
βš–οΈ Sugar mimics addictive patterns β€” Sugar triggers the same dopamine reward system that drugs and alcohol do.
πŸ’₯ Sugar causes mood swings β€” Blood sugar spikes and crashes can intensify anxiety, irritability, and cravings.
🧠 Sugar disrupts brain healing β€” Your brain needs steady nutrients to rebuild pathways damaged by substance use.
🍽️ Sugar It leads to nutrient imbalances β€” Sugary foods replace the proteins and vitamins your body needs for recovery.
πŸ’€ Sugar impacts sleep and energy β€” High sugar can cause insomnia or fatigue β€” both of which can make recovery harder.

πŸ’‘ Try replacing refined sugar with fruit, nuts, or herbal teas for natural sweetness that supports, not sabotages, your progress.

You’ve worked hard to reclaim your health β€” your nutrition deserves the same care. πŸ’™
