Dropping Acid at Drivers Ed & Staying Calm and Connected: Navigating Sobriety in Turbulent Times

Episode 135: Calm and Connected: Navigating Sobriety in Turbulent Times

In this episode of Recovery in the Middle Ages, we wrestle with the critical topics of stress management and the dangers of isolation in sobriety. We explore practical strategies for maintaining emotional and mental balance through stress-busting techniques tailored for those in recovery. We also discuss the often overlooked risk of isolation—even when surrounded by others—and how shrinking your social world can jeopardize sobriety. 

 

Plus: What the heck have Mike and Nat been up to lately? 

 

ALSO: What is Contingency Management and how can it be incorporated into addiction treatment?

If you’re in trouble with substance abuse and need help, reach out. There are thousands of people who have put problems with addiction in their rear-view mirrors and you can be one of them. While we neither endorse nor condemn any particular program, the sheer number of available AA and NA meetings suggest that reaching out to those organizations would be a good first step, (but maybe not the last step), on your road to recovery.
