Covid 19 Isolation Impact
Good Morning America’s Deborah Roberts interviews a sober blogger, an addiction professional, and the CEO and co-founder of the recovery-based virtual support system to investigate how individuals in recovery from drug addiction and alcoholism are coping with COVID-19 quarantine and isolation. Harmony Hobbs, blogger and recovering alcoholic, highlights how isolation is a trigger for many people who struggle with substance abuse, which may increase one’s susceptibility to relapse.
