So this is all to say that recovery is fundamentally- and I think this is true if you talk to a wide range of kind of quote-unquote- experts on recovery.
Can technology truly support addiction recovery? This episode of 'Atheists in Recovery' dives into that very question with guest Brandon, who identifies as a cultural ethnic Jew with a growing focus on spirituality. Host Dr. Adina Silvestri and Brandon explore the concept of Recovery Related Use of Online Technology (R.O.O.T) and its role in making recovery a social process.
They discuss the differences between general interest sites and recovery-specific platforms like 'In The Rooms' and 'Sober Grid', emphasizing the unique benefits each offers. The conversation highlights how online recovery communities are not just for young adults but also for those in middle and mature adulthood, and how individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds might find these resources particularly useful. Brandon shares tips on maximizing your experience within these communities, especially during times of social isolation.
This episode offers a fresh perspective on how technology can bridge gaps in addiction recovery, making it a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of digital support systems.
