So if you're a troubled, you know, if you're trying to work on your recovery and you have these mental health concerns and you're isolated and alone and depressed, and people you know getting sick, it's really caused tremendous uptick in relapses.
Imagine facing addiction recovery alone, without the usual support systems. That's the reality many have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this episode of 'Friends In Recovery', hosts Jersey Ed and the Podfather Mike Miles sit down with mental health expert Jeff Zeizel to tackle this pressing issue. The trio dives into how isolation and uncertainty have exacerbated addiction and mental health struggles, leading to an increase in relapses. But it's not all doom and gloom.
They also share practical strategies to cope, like the surprising benefits of writing by hand and the role of virtual support groups. They emphasize the importance of human connection and community, even when physical distancing is necessary. If you're looking for a mix of empathy, expert advice, and real talk about the challenges of staying sober during a pandemic, this episode is a must-listen.
