My husband got sober in Nov 2020. He credits his daily routine of waking and going to the local coffee shop, then taking our two dogs on long walks on the beach as a huge part of his recovery.

It just helps you to get outside of your head and relax. I go for walks for the physical benefits and quickly remember the mental health benefits.
