Social distancing has put a giant pause on recovery meetings. Thankfully, there are ways to stay committed to your recovery throughout the duration of COVID-19.

Attend an Online Meeting

Stay In Touch

Your support group, friends, family, other recovery friends etc. are only a text or phone call away. Sometimes the phone feels heavy, but you’ll feel better after reaching out.

Therapy

Many therapists and OP programs are creating ways to set up phone sessions. Talk to your therapist or call a program and ask if they can still set up phone sessions.

Mindfulness Meditation

This kind of meditation teaches one to become more self aware. Insight Timer is a great tool for finding free meditations. If you prefer sitting in the quiet they also have a simple timer. 

Other meditation apps (there may be a subscription fee):

You can also find meditations on Youtube and Spotify!

HALT

Are you:

  • Hungry? Eat something.
  • Angry? Meditate. Journal. Call or text someone. Etc.
  • Lonely? Call or text someone.
  • Tired? Go to sleep.

Practice Self-Care

Self-care looks different for everyone. For some it’s playing a video game and for others it’s going for a run. It can be as simple as taking a nap or a hot shower. Whatever fills your spirit is good enough.
