A lot of people in recovery think they’re practicing healthy alone time, but are actually slipping into isolation, which can be dangerous.
- Isolation = avoiding support, hiding, feeding negative thoughts
- Solitude = intentional alone time for growth, reflection, peace
- How do you personally tell the difference between isolation and solitude?
- What are your warning signs that you’re starting to isolate?
- What’s one thing you do to reconnect when you feel yourself pulling away?
- Recovery isn’t about being alone it’s about knowing when being alone is hurting you vs. helping you grow.
