So much stigma surrounds addiction — 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. 💚

🚫 Myth: Addiction is a choice.
✅ Fact: Addiction is a chronic brain disease — not a moral failure.

🚫 Myth: You have to hit “rock bottom” before getting help.
✅ Fact: Early treatment saves lives. Recovery can start today.

🚫 Myth: People with addiction don’t want to get better.
✅ Fact: Many do — they just need compassion and access to care.

🚫 Myth: Relapse means failure.
✅ Fact: Relapse can be part of the process — every step forward counts.

🚫 Myth: Addiction only affects certain people.
✅ Fact: It can impact anyone — regardless of age, background, or status.

🚫 Myth: Life in recovery is boring.
✅ Fact: Recovery brings purpose, freedom, and peace — 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:
⚖️ Sugar mimics addictive patterns — Sugar triggers the same dopamine reward system that drugs and alcohol do.
💥 Sugar causes mood swings — Blood sugar spikes and crashes can intensify anxiety, irritability, and cravings.
🧠 Sugar disrupts brain healing — Your brain needs steady nutrients to rebuild pathways damaged by substance use.
🍽️ Sugar It leads to nutrient imbalances — Sugary foods replace the proteins and vitamins your body needs for recovery.
💤 Sugar impacts sleep and energy — High sugar can cause insomnia or fatigue — both of which can make recovery harder.

💡 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 — your nutrition deserves the same care. 💙

🍎 Food plays a powerful role in healing both the mind and body after addiction.
What you eat can rebuild strength, boost mood, and support long-term recovery.

Here are a few recovery-friendly foods to fuel healing:
🐟 Salmon & eggs – restore brain health and energy
🥦 Leafy greens – replenish vitamins that stabilize mood
🌾 Whole grains – steady blood sugar and curb cravings
🍓 Fruits & veggies – detoxify and strengthen the immune system
🥜 Nuts & seeds – calm anxiety and improve sleep
🦠 Yogurt & fermented foods – repair gut health and digestion

💧 Hydration matters too — water and herbal teas help flush toxins and fight fatigue.

Simple, nourishing choices make a big difference.
Stay tuned this month as we share more Recovery & Nutrition tips!
