Zoom just happens to be a really common one. I've had people that just want to chat on the phone and of course I'm not that knowledgeable about zoom, but I have a little bit of knowledge and not enough to get by. But it makes such a difference, especially if somebody's in dire needs, if somebody's really in a stressful situation and they need someone to talk to someone, to a professional.
Picture this: you’re in a church basement, sharing your struggles with a group of people who get it. Now, fast forward to 2020. Suddenly, those meetings are happening in your living room, thanks to a little thing called Zoom. In this episode of 'Friends In Recovery - The Addiction Recovery Podcast', hosts Jersey Ed, the Podfather Mike Miles, and Miss Meg dive into how the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the recovery landscape.
They chat about the transition from face-to-face gatherings to virtual ones, and how this shift has brought both challenges and unexpected benefits. Zoom, they note, has become a lifeline for many, offering a way to stay connected with support networks without leaving home. The hosts share their personal experiences with this new format and discuss how it’s helping people stay sober in these strange times.
They also take a trip down memory lane, reflecting on the history of addiction recovery and how far we've come. If you’re curious about how recovery meetings have evolved or looking for some inspiration to keep going, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a blend of heartfelt stories, practical advice, and a dash of humor – just what you need to feel less alone in your journey.
