Social media. It's the ultimate double-edged sword. It can inspire us and give us community. It can also be toxic and make us feel less than those we see with seemingly 'perfect' lives.
Have you ever felt both uplifted and dragged down by social media? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Tawny Lara and Lisa Smith dive deep into their complicated relationship with social media. They chat about how these platforms can be both a lifeline and a landmine for those on the path to recovery.
Social media can offer a sense of community and inspiration, but it can also present triggers and unrealistic portrayals of 'perfect' lives that can be hard to handle. Tawny and Lisa share personal anecdotes about their own struggles, from online shopping binges to the role music plays in their sobriety. They also discuss the importance of balance and authenticity when navigating these digital spaces.
The episode is packed with practical tips on how to stay focused on your own recovery journey, despite the distractions and pitfalls of the online world. Whether you're looking for advice on managing your social media use or just want to hear relatable stories from others who get it, this episode offers a thoughtful look at the double-edged sword that is social media.
