I feel good about myself since I started taking care of my body. It's the home that goes with me each day of my life.
--Bill L. - Age 17

When we were using, we often neglected our bodies and personal hygiene. We may have also stopped getting regular medical and dental care. It seemed that the ups and downs of a user's life left us with little energy for personal care.

Today we are surprised at how much joy we get out of smelling good and dressing with care. Many of us are developing our own personal style.

At first, we might need to force ourselves to call for regular checkups, but the feeling of wellness we get from being responsible for our bodies outweighs our old fears.

Today let me love myself enough to care about my physical health and appearance.
