Take steps towards wholistic wellness
At the First Nations Heath Authority (FNHA), we understand that the healing path from substance use is an individual one, and there is no one way to walk on it. Some choose abstinence (i.e., eliminating alcohol / other substance(s) use) while others choose to reduce consumption, substituting their substance of choice for something else, and/or accessing other alternative and cultural supports. No matter your chosen path, becoming more mindful of your wholistic wellness allows reflection on any stresses you may have in your life and how to manage that stress.
You can ask yourself the following questions: Who supports me? Who is good medicine for my spirit? What tools and practices do I have to help myself along this journey?
Every step taken towards reducing alcohol use, no matter how small, is a step to better wellness. Whether choosing to abstain completely or to cut back, we support your decision. Sober for October isn’t just about quitting alcohol; it’s about embracing a healthier lifestyle and being more mindful of our choices.
