We still need our recovery family community and we're living now in an age where it is possible to meet virtually by phone or with video if you have good internet.
Imagine needing your support group more than ever, but finding your usual meeting spot closed. That's the reality many faced during the coronavirus pandemic. In this episode of The Recovery Show, Spencer shares his first experience with a virtual Al-Anon meeting, a lifeline during these challenging times. With his father in hospice care, Spencer found unexpected comfort and connection through a screen. He emphasizes that even in isolation, the recovery community remains strong and accessible.
Virtual meetings have opened doors for those who can't attend in person due to physical limitations or geographical barriers. Spencer highlights how these online gatherings offer the same sense of community and support, crucial for anyone on their recovery journey. He also provides practical tips to make the most of virtual meetings, from finding a quiet space to being patient with tech glitches.
This episode is a testament to the resilience of the recovery community and a reminder that support is always within reach, even in the most trying times.
