In this episode of 'Sober Friends', hosts Matt J, John I, and Steve C get real about their struggles with isolation, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. They dig into how easy it is to use social distancing as an excuse to hide away, and the slippery slope that can lead to avoiding meetings and support systems. But it’s not all doom and gloom.
The hosts share their personal stories and strategies for breaking out of the isolation trap. From leveraging social media for connection to the power of group activities, they offer practical tips for staying engaged with your recovery community. Vulnerability and honest communication come up as key themes, reminding us that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. This episode is a heartfelt discussion about the importance of staying connected and the dangers of self-isolation.
Whether you’re struggling with loneliness or looking for ways to support someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement.
