Recovery is having the freedom to enjoy life. After you fall down, recovery is finding restoration.
Stepping out of an inpatient treatment program can feel like stepping into a whole new world. In this episode of 'Recovery Talks', Montana's Peer Network Recovery Coach, Ashley McLean, shares her down-to-earth advice for making those crucial first days a bit smoother. Whether you're heading back home or moving into a sober living house, Ashley's got you covered with some practical tips. First up, she highlights the importance of having a solid recovery plan.
And don't just keep it in your head – write it down! A tangible plan can be your anchor when things get overwhelming. Another key point Ashley makes is to connect with a peer supporter. Having someone who understands what you're going through can make all the difference in those early days. Ashley also talks about simplifying your daily routine.
Simple things like eating regular meals, staying hydrated, and getting enough rest can sometimes be overlooked but are essential for your well-being. Setting small, achievable goals can help you build confidence and a sense of accomplishment. Feeling isolated? You're not alone. Overcoming isolation is another challenge Ashley addresses, offering resources and ideas for finding support, even if you're in a place with limited services.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for anyone transitioning from a structured treatment environment to independent living. So, if you're looking for some friendly guidance on navigating those first days post-rehab, tune in to hear Ashley's insights. It's like having a wise friend by your side, helping you take one step at a time.
