Staying Sober and Connected: Navigating Recovery During COVID-19
You know, here, with inside the rco, we're still conducting groups... because we want to be able to help those that don't have that access.
How do you maintain sobriety when the world is turned upside down? In this episode of the 'Get In The Herd' podcast, Nathan Mitchell sits down with Jesse Wysocki and Joe Pellicane to tackle this very question. The COVID-19 pandemic has upended daily routines and created new challenges for those in recovery, but the McShin Foundation is finding ways to adapt and support its community.
Nathan, Jesse, and Joe share their personal experiences and practical tips on staying sober during these unprecedented times. They discuss the importance of virtual meetings, which have become a lifeline for many. While not a perfect substitute for face-to-face interactions, these online gatherings offer a vital space for sharing, listening, and supporting one another. But it's not just about meetings. The trio emphasizes the need for holistic self-care, including exercise, healthy eating, and mindfulness practices like meditation.
These habits can help manage stress, anxiety, and depression, which are often heightened during a crisis. Throughout the conversation, one message stands out: you are not alone. The McShin Foundation continues to provide resources and support, whether through phone calls, texts, or online forums. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on navigating recovery during a pandemic, this episode is a must-listen.
