For me, recovery and self-care are inextricably connected. My recovery from abuse, addiction, and a suicide attempt required dumptruck loads of self-care.

About This Quote

When it comes to recovery, the most important thing is to take care of yourself. This means making sure you’re getting proper medical treatment when you need it, even when you can’t easily afford it. It means taking steps toward financial security so that you’ll never have to worry about your cover being blown if someone reads your checkbook or finds your money or credit cards in a search. It means finding social support groups in your area so you can build relationships with people who will check on you when you’re not feeling well, who will support you in the aftermath of a crisis, and who will be there to help in times of need.

And it means finding ways to get creative with self-care that don’t require a therapist or medication. For me, recovery and self-care are inextricably connected.
