Best Recent Recovery Blogs to Read

Posted in Addiction, Blogs, Recovery, Rehab, Sober Living on Jan 09, 2015

Deciding to go to a rehabilitation center to treat a drug or alcohol addiction may seem like the hard part, but sometimes learning to relive life without the crutch can prove even more arduous. Coupled with consistently trying to maintain sobriety throughout both the mundane daily tasks of life and the occasional emotional highs and lows, without your previous coping mechanism, can make anyone feel the need to connect with someone else who has been in their shoes. And what about the family members who have no idea how to deal with a recovering addict? Well, here is a list of the best blogs, including those for addicts and the families of addicts alike.

1. My Way Out. Author of the book My Way Out, Roberta Jewell shares insights into alcoholism, drug addiction, and other treatments.
2. AHA Moments. At 45 years old, Karen blogs about her second chance at life.
3. Awakenings for Women. Useful tips geared towards women; ranging from: how to cope with change in early recovery to substance abuse treatment for mothers.
4. My Recovery. Describing herself as a 38-year-old mother of three and an addict, she addresses issues ranging from addiction, to anxiety, and depression.
5. Alcoholic Daze. This wife and mother, chronicles the stress of watching her husband’s alcoholism spiral from bad to out of control.

Every one of these blogs have something unique and helpful to offer those who are currently or previously dealing with addiction and the difficulties of maintaining sobriety.
