Addiction & Recovery
Recovery happens when you emotionally, physically and overall feel better. Sometime the key to staying in recovery is caring for your body and your power supply. This page has tools and resources to help you on your path.
The buttons below connect you to our best resources that support better decision making as people navigate recovery. We encourage you to try some food-based experiments to stay in your Smart Brain and away from your Addict/Lizard Brain.
