Staying Sober in Lockdown: Zoom as a Lifeline

We're lifting each other up no matter what happens, no matter how awkward it gets or how weird it gets, or how uncomfortable one of us gets. We know we're still being carried by each other.
When the world shut down, staying sober became a whole new challenge. In this episode of 'Telling On Ourselves', hosts Lynn, Bre, and Vikki share their unique strategies for maintaining sobriety during the pandemic. The trio discusses how they've leaned on Zoom to stay connected and support each other through these tough times. Bre has found solace in downtime for reflection, Vikki stays busy chairing Zoom meetings, and Lynn keeps herself grounded by sponsoring and reading.
The episode dives into the concept of authenticity in recovery. The hosts reflect on their past habits of pretending to be someone they're not, and how Zoom has allowed them to be more genuine and vulnerable. This honesty has fostered deeper connections within their sober community. As Bre highlights, being open and honest is where true recovery magic happens. Reaching out to others is another key theme.
The hosts stress the importance of staying in touch with sober friends and sponsors. Small gestures, like checking in on a coworker or calling a fellow sober friend, can make a significant impact. Lynn poignantly notes, 'We're lifting each other up no matter what happens, no matter how awkward or uncomfortable it gets.' This episode is a heartfelt reminder that even in isolation, you don't have to go through recovery alone.
Whether it's trying new things, reaching out to others, or embracing your true self, there are many ways to stay sober and connected during lockdown. So, take their advice and 'Take More Zo0o0o0oM!'
