Normandy House has compiled a list of Recovery blogs that we think will help you on your recovery journey. Blogs are an amazing way to get support if you are struggling.
There is a little something for everyone here with these blogs. Some are written by people in recovery, some by parents of children who are struggling with substance abuse issues and some from folks who grew up in an alcoholic households and want to share their experiences.
When used right, the Internet can be a wonderful thing. In the last 10 years or so, the web has become a place for sourcing and sharing information on Addiction & Recovery, sometimes dubbed “Internet Recovery”. There is no formal or organized structure behind it; Internet recovery simply consists of reaching out for support via the web. This could be in a forum, an online rehab program or through a blog. Here is our list of the 40 best recovery blogs out there in no particular order.
