How Technology and Social Media Can Boost Your Recovery Journey

In addiction, our communications are at odds with the reality; in recovery, all our communications are about staying connected.
Ever thought about how your phone could be more than just a distraction? In this episode of 'Flat Out Recovery', hosts Ronnie, Matty, and Richard dive into the surprising ways technology and social media can actually aid in addiction recovery. Forget the 'false face' we often present online; this discussion is all about authentic connections and practical tools that can support your journey to sobriety.
The trio shares personal stories about using Zoom during lockdown, WhatsApp groups for support, and the double-edged sword of social media. They emphasize that while these platforms have their pitfalls, they can also be invaluable for staying connected and building a supportive community. As Ronnie puts it, 'In addiction, our communications are at odds with reality; in recovery, all our communications are about staying connected'.
If you're curious about how to turn your digital habits into assets for your recovery, this episode is a must-listen. It's a blend of humor, honesty, and real-life wisdom that aims to break down the stigma of addiction while providing practical advice. Tune in to see how you can make technology work for you on your path to recovery.
