    With the widespread COVID-19 regulations requiring us to shelter at home and to practice social distancing from all but those who share our household, how do people in recovery from alcoholism or other addictive processes maintain their sobriety? A crucial component of recovery involves regular contact with others on a similar path. Isolation, and the depression, anxiety, and loneliness that often accompany it, can be a trigger for many people. Fortunately, numerous online (i.e., Zoom and phone) meetings have sprung up around the world. Dr. Robert Weiss, PhD,  has written an article providing an extensive list and links to recovery groups and meetings, which I hope you will find useful: https://blogs.psychcentral.com/sex/2020/03/online-addiction-recovery-resources-for-use-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/
