Drinking less soda and drinking more water/March 23, 2023

Author: Toina Williams

Planning Unit: Hardin County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Drinking less sodas and drinking more water

 

 

I have been working with Substance abuse clients for the past three years. This success story is from the New Horizon facility. The rehab places has increased here in Hardin County within the past two years. Working with substance abuse facilities is so rewarding and it shows that this program really works.

While out at local function at Freeman Lake in Elizabethtown, I saw a young that looked familiar. He walks over and begins to talk to me. He said, “ Ms. Toni, I am doing so much better on my recovery journey since your class.” I have stopped drinking so many sodas and I am drinking more water. I took your advice about adding fruit to the water to give it a taste. It helps me to increase my water intake. 

This is a long-term affect.
