Their health

If there is one immediate difference in sobriety many notice, it’s the transformation of health and sustainable living practices. With a better lifestyle in mind, simply better eating and exercise habits boost energy levels and moods.

Their emotions

After spending years trying to push away their feelings, people in long-term recovery have learned to embrace it. Unlocking these built-up emotions for the first time in a long time is a freeing experience for many.

Their memory

Their presence
