Happy Valentines Day! Today was my big little day—a private ceremony with BIG LOVE. I am now officially Rachel Abbassi, married to my "babycakes" of 17 years. Thank you to all your well wishes!

Today I talk about getting active, and its vital counterpart, getting still. Getting active in sobriety by saying yes, even when we don't want to, adds a fresh new dimension to our lives as we try activities that we never would have given a chance when we were drinking. Equally important to getting the energy out of us physically is slowing down, turning the volume down on my thoughts and checking in with our mental and emotional well-being. I typically get active and then get still right after. I find this combo to be enjoyable and fulfilling.
