Virtual Celebrations: Navigating Recovery Milestones During Lockdown
Today, March, I walked through the doors of Mary Hall freedom house after being out there for Two Long Years- I say Months, but my daughter said Two Years- of introducing my children, my son and my daughter to a lifestyle they knew nothing about. I lost our home cars, my nursing license.
Imagine hitting a major recovery milestone and not being able to celebrate it with your support group. That's exactly what Lucy and her guests faced on this episode of the Hope Village Podcast. With the pandemic turning life upside down, traditional celebrations were off the table. But that didn't stop them. Lucy, marking her own 30-year recovery milestone, invited several women with April recovery birthdays to join her for a virtual celebration.
They couldn't meet in person, get their chips, or hug it out, but they found a way to make it special anyway. The episode dives into how they've managed to keep their spirits high and stay connected during these isolating times. Penny Foskey and Roselle G share their stories of resilience and the spiritual principles that have kept them grounded.
They also talk about the tools that have helped them stay on track and how the community can support each other from afar. Lucy doesn't just stop at sharing personal stories; she also highlights ways to stay engaged with the Hope Village Project and teases an upcoming film that's bound to inspire.
This episode is a heartwarming reminder that even in the toughest times, the recovery community finds a way to come together and celebrate life, one day at a time.
