I think that the thing that holds most young people back from the whole recovery process is this thought of that they're going to be missing out, you know, and then they feel like they're missing out on something great. But that's really not true because part of the process of what happens when you become addicted is you lose the ability to experience joy from anything else.
Ever wondered how technology can support addiction recovery? This episode of 'Recovery Corner' dives into that very topic. Host Carly sits down with Amber Hollingsworth, a Master Addiction Counselor known for her 'Put the Shovel Down' YouTube channel, to discuss the innovative Soberlink device. Amber shares her enthusiasm for this high-tech breathalyzer, which connects to the cloud and helps people maintain their sobriety through scheduled tests and real-time notifications.
This gadget doesn't just aid in staying sober; it also helps rebuild trust with loved ones by providing accountability and reassurance. Amber talks about how Soberlink's features, like facial recognition and instant alerts, make it a reliable tool for those navigating legal issues or seeking consistent support. She emphasizes the device's role in fostering self-accountability and its preventative nature, making the decision to stay sober easier and less stressful for both individuals and their families.
The conversation also touches on the broader aspects of recovery. Amber shares her passion for working with young people and debunks common misconceptions about missing out on life during recovery. She and Carly highlight the importance of finding a supportive community or 'sober tribe' and challenge the notion that one must hit rock bottom before seeking help.
This episode offers a blend of personal anecdotes and professional insights, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and recovery. Carly and Amber's engaging discussion sheds light on how tools like Soberlink can transform the recovery journey, providing hope and practical advice for those looking to rebuild their lives.
