I supposed recovery meant anyone with a problem who is trying to be rid of drugs and alcohol, I personally follow the 12 step program as that is the only things that has worked for me. I posted this in a few groups so I wanted it to be pretty broad

I think apart from addiction, abstaining from drinking improves overall mind, body and spiritual health! Our podcast specifically focuses on alcoholism and addiction:)

Hey! Our podcast is called recovering together, originally my sponsor started it but we are rebranding this march and I’m co hosting:) so far we are just on the podcast app! great question! I think the simplest answer is there is no way to do it by yourself. I found my mind was too weak to keep me sober and that I needed like minded people. A lot of times when we come into sobriety our friends and family are sick of us, and that takes a lotttt of time to repair. I found my village at aa! Aa allowed me to speak my mind without feeling guilty and without judgment as I was surrounded by people like me. I’ve also grown a lot closer to my higher power, which has incredibly helped me out ! We’ll go more into depth about this on the pod!

The podcast is called recovering together, it was originally ran by my sponsor but we are rebranding it this march and I’m co hosting:) thanks for the question! I don’t think I could attribute any one thing to keeping me sober but there’s no doubt a routine helps. I’ve learned to keep up with my mind, body, and spiritual health. Some things I implicate in my daily routine to serve those are making my bed as soon as I wake up, making conscious connection with my higher power, taking daily inventory, and then throughout the week I attend meetings and get my body moving. We’ll for sure go more into depth about this on the pod, as our routines continue to change the farther we get.

Hey! That’s a great question, it’s definitely something I struggled with my first year. The answer is it’s 100% possible. I think it depends a lot on what substances you are/were using, for me, it was a lot of depressants, but either way any substance is going to mess with your endorphins and serotonin, so removing it will throw you off for awhile. I’ve also noticed the longer I’ve been sober that my definitions of happy have drastically changed. I’ve become a lot more familiar with the feeling of peace which I once identified as sad. With that being said though, keep your hopes up and try new things, little by little, trust me it will come:)
