Episode #38 - Thursday The Checkup: Social Media Recovery and Accountability.

This episode raises and addresses my concerns over using Social Media as the foundation of recovery, rather then a supplement.

The biggest concern I have is that using social media as a primary platform can leave one without much or any accountability.

One of the greatest advantages a person of recovery (especially new or relatively new) is to relay on a person(s) that they can have a face-to-face conversation with and have a higher degree of accountability.

When there is little to no accountability, such as social media, the person then can more easily rely on the thinking that got them in the condition they are in and reject anything that would cause them to challenge their thinking.

I lay out a couple very good resources from Recovery.org and also soberlink.com. Please check out these resources and come to your own conclusion. Thank you for joining me on the Recovery Guy podcast
