Staying sober: A nutrition and exercise program for the recovering alcoholic

STAYING SOBER A NUTRITION AND EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR THE RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC Millions of alcoholics enter recovery programs every year highly motivated to conquer their addictions, yet 60 percent of them fail and return to their life-threatening addictions within a year. Why do recovering alcoholics relapse? Because detoxification is not enough. Sober alcoholics remain marooned in their addictive behaviors: poor nutrition; dependence on caffeine, nicotine, and sugar; lack of exercise and discipline. The missing key to lifelong recovery is fitness and nutrition. Staying Sober offers a practical, proven program for recovering alcoholics who must repair and fortify their bodies in order to remain permanently alcohol-free. In positive, supportive language, Judy Myer's plan helps recovering alcoholics to maintain a healthy, addiction-free lifestyle by developing and enjoying new habits that: • Curb alcohol and sugar cravings with vitamins, minerals, and nutritional supplements • Maximize the link between emotional health and physical well-being • Cope with the stress of sobriety and drug-free living through renewed fitness • Prevent relapse by replacing the chemical addiction with an addiction to exercise and the right foods
