Recovery on the Road interview with Mara – Episode 71

How do you take recovery with you when you travel? I talked with Mara about her recent experience traveling for several months, and how she kept her recovery program alive. Our conversation was very loosely guided by these questions: Did you think about how you were going to take your recovery program with you before you left home? What did you take with you? (Literature, phone numbers, meeting locations / list?) What were your expectations about what you would find at your destination (that could support your recovery)? How did you use what you brought? Did you make program calls? Text? Email? How did what happened match (or not) your expectations (of practicing recovery)? Did you attend in-person meetings? Did you attend online meetings? What did you find challenging about practicing your recovery program while traveling? How did your program help you enjoy your travel? What else would you like to share about your experience?
