For me self care looks like;
Meditation
Reading
Showering
Maintaining my beard by brushing and oiling it.
Applying skin care products to my face each morning.
Getting 7-8 hours of sleep
Eating healthy meals
Push-ups, a few yoga stretches and dumbbell curls each morning.
Playing guitar
Sharing my sobriety journey
Taking to other Alcoholics
Doing laundry
Cleaning house
Grocery shopping
Oh and most of all taking a day each month to do nothing! Like sitting at the beach!
Hiking is my ultimate self care necessity!

Good list! Gardening has been a great outlet for me and a form of self care (time to myself, getting exercise, and connecting to nature).

Thank you 
Yes! Love gardening 
The last time I had a garden was before my last big relapse in 2012-13. Had grown a garden three years in a row while I was dry. That’s probably one reason I was able to stay sober. I do remember how therapeutic it was after a long day at work…
Thank you for sharing.
