Staying Sober When You're Stuck at Home: Tips for Recovery During Isolation
Being alone is not good, but being in your head alone is even worse.
Isolation can be tough, especially if you're in recovery. The 'Freedom From Addiction' podcast tackles this head-on in an episode dedicated to helping you stay connected and maintain your sobriety when your usual recovery groups are canceled. The hosts from Adult & Teen Challenge MidSouth dive into the challenges of social distancing and offer practical advice to keep you grounded and supported during these trying times.

You’ll also get tips on maintaining healthy habits—think nutritious eating and regular exercise—to help manage stress. And for those seeking spiritual solace, the hosts encourage spending time in prayer, reading scripture, and joining online church services. They even throw in some everyday tips like making your bed each morning and practicing gratitude.
This episode is a comforting reminder that you’re not alone, and there are plenty of ways to stay connected and strong in your recovery journey.
