Looking Within
When you are so focused on the destination, you can sometimes forget to appreciate the journey along the way. But the truth is that recovery has no finish line. Every day is an opportunity to challenge yourself and to grow into an even better version of yourself. So slow down and take the time to do some self-reflection. Discovering who you are and what you really want is key to living life with intention.
Using Your Senses
to Ground Your Mind
From identifying a scent that brings back a nice memory to hearing a familiar song that soothes your anxiety, sensory recognition can help you stay grounded and find emotional balance. Learning new techniques to help manage stress can make a tremendous difference in your daily life. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or anxious often, why not try getting in touch with your senses?

On May 22, join Mountainside's own Sage Hahn for a workshop to help you unwind at a moment's notice by focusing on hearing, touch, smell, sight, and taste.
Recovery Through Writing
Writing can be a fun and often cathartic way to explore your emotions, including some you might not even be aware of. So, why not put pen to paper and see what comes out? You might be surprised at what you learn about yourself.

Your Monthly Soundtrack
There has been a long-running myth that the use of drugs fosters creativity, notably amongst musicians. We know that is far from the truth, and have compiled a list of sober music artists who prove that creativity does not require drugs or alcohol. This playlist features an inspiring mix of songs written by artists in recovery, including Trey Anastasio, Lana Del Rey, Elton John, and more.
Wellness and recovery-focused podcasts can be fantastic resources to learn more about addiction and recovery, in addition to introducing you to a larger sober community. We asked our alumni to share their favorite podcasts, and the list does not disappoint. These diverse and informative podcasts make for a fun listening experience – especially when you are commuting to work and need some entertainment, or when you are doing chores and want some company.
Whether you're looking for resources to support your ongoing sobriety, need help managing your stress and anxiety, or want to stay connected to a welcoming, tight-knit recovery community, we're here for you. We invite you to join us every week for our FREE virtual offerings.
