The journey you are on is truly an awesome one that deserves every ounce of respect for the challenge that it is, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  For this reason, I must, in good conscious, advise you to dedicate time and energy to the establishment of a solid Base Camp.  Before mountaineers tackle an arduous climb, they establish what is known as a Base Camp.  Base Camp serves a number of purposes, including:

·       Creating a safe place to prepare for the climb

·       Holding supplies that can be accessed quickly for the expedition

·       Providing a refuge to retreat to during times of danger.

If you think about healing from addiction as an expedition, then establishing healthy habits that nourish your body and mind collectively comprise the Base Camp for your healing journey.
