Coping with Quarantine: Recovery Challenges and Triumphs
And then my home group, which is usually just people with some time that aren't quite as serious about steps in the program, and that mix is great for me, like it really is good.
Ever wondered how months of quarantine have impacted those on the path to recovery? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of) - The Podcast', hosts Billy and Jason open up about their personal experiences navigating recovery during the Covid-19 pandemic. They dive into the emotional rollercoaster of missing pre-pandemic routines, grappling with guilt over feeling disconnected from their 12-step programs, and finding new ways to stay grounded without regular meetings.
You'll hear about the 'four-legged table' concept, which suggests that even if one leg (meetings) is missing, the other three legs (spirituality, fellowship, and service) can still provide stability. The hosts also share their adventures in attending different meetings and the unique challenges that come with it. The conversation isn't just about struggles; it's also about adaptation and growth.
Billy and Jason reflect on how their relationship with the 12-step program has evolved and highlight the positive aspects of their diverse home group. This episode is a raw, honest look at the resilience required to maintain recovery during unprecedented times. Tune in for a mix of heartfelt stories, practical advice, and a dash of humor that will resonate with anyone affected by addiction or supporting someone who is.
