A lot of things that we do for fun have sort of fallen by the wayside and I think a lot of people are noticing: well, maybe I spent a lot of time on this hobby or on that activity and it wasn't so important for me.
With the pandemic heightening stress and fear, those on the path to substance use recovery face unique challenges. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos chats with Dr. Eric Barker and Counselor Charlotte Prather from the Intermountain Dayspring Clinic in Logan. They dive into practical strategies for staying sober during these trying times. Dr. Barker highlights the importance of understanding your values and connections to maintain motivation.
He suggests that by focusing on what truly matters, individuals can find a renewed sense of purpose that supports their recovery journey. Meanwhile, Counselor Prather emphasizes the necessity of reaching out for support and expanding one's support network. She shares tips on identifying triggers and using grounding techniques like deep breathing to manage stress and prevent relapse.
The duo also discusses various community resources available for those struggling with addiction, from primary care physicians to mental health departments and support groups like AA and NA. This episode is a beacon of hope, offering listeners actionable advice to stay on track with their recovery goals even in the face of unprecedented challenges.
