Why is Self-Care Important in Recovery?
The process of rebuilding a life or a career that has been affected by drugs and alcohol can seem overwhelming. While it is certainly worth the effort, it can be draining, and it can often be hard to see the long-term benefits while you’re in the middle of the process. Self-care is critically important as you begin the process and as you move through it.
What Does Acceptance Have to Do with Saving My Career?

Acceptance means we stop railing against what we think should not be. It is about acknowledging what is, even when undesirable.
