An important part of recovering from addiction is learning to properly nourish the body. From a physical standpoint, a healthy body is a happy body, and a happy body supports recovery better than a sick or pained body. In addition, eating certain foods can help assuage cravings and avoiding other foods can help stabilize moods swings, both of which can help prevent a relapse into substance abuse. In mental and spiritual terms, learning to eat properly is part of learning to care for oneself and learning to make strong life choices.
