Did You Know That Fitbits Can Help You with Your Alcohol

Need an extra bit of help staying sober? Then you may be surprised to find out that the help you are looking for is in a place you would least expect it – your Fitbit.

According to a recent study, Fitbits will be able to help women stay sober. The National Institute of Health has spent more than $200,000 giving out Fitbits in hopes of helping women battle their alcohol addiction.

Centers much like our Boca Raton sober living home are giving out Fitbits in an effort to help women focus on moving past their alcohol addiction by getting fit. Essentially, Fitbits will help users track their exercise throughout the day, helping them keep better track of their physical and emotional well-being.

According to researchers at Butler Hospital in Rhode Island, “Alcohol addiction are the third leading preventable cause of death in the U.S. and are associated with significant economic burden and health-related negative consequences. While women may be less likely to develop AUDs, they experience more significant negative health consequences of alcohol use than men.

Due to stigma, shame, and child care issues; Women are less likely to receive specialty addiction treatment.” If you or a loved one are in need of help from a Boca Raton sober living home, then call Awakenings for Women today for more information.
