In a time of social distancing, people suffering from addiction, and their loved ones, worry about what they will do with so much unstructured time alone.
. Many who struggle with addiction became quite adept at socially distancing ourselves. Isolating ourselves from others was a way to hide our use. For many, time off from work or school was a chance to use without the fear of being found. We would intentionally avoid making plans or having commitments; no one would miss us. No one would have expectations of us.
People who are early in recovery and rely upon the fellowships of Alcoholics Anonymous, Women for Sobriety, Smart Recovery, LifeRing, Secular Organizations for Sobriety, or Moderationare particularly vulnerable. Overcoming a habit of distancing and isolating is an ongoing achievement that depends on connections, relationships, and routines. Most of these groups are still meeting in some way. As many in Alcoholics Anonymous say, it’s a meeting whenever and wherever two alcoholics gather.
