August 2025: Anchor Yourself: Staying Steady Through Life’s Shifts
August is a Turning Point in Recovery. As summer winds down, many in sobriety, codependent recovery, and mental health healing feel an internal shift. The long, unstructured days of summer can stir up old patterns—overcommitting, people-pleasing, emotional isolation, or the quiet hum of relapse thoughts. And with the pressure of “back-to-school” season approaching, it’s easy to fall into cycles of overwhelm and self-criticism.
At Recovered Life, August isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about staying connected and staying steady. Our livestreams and meetings this month are focused on tools to manage emotional triggers, break free from codependent loops, and strengthen your mental health routines as life gets busier.
If you’ve been feeling off-center—whether it’s emotional burnout, people-pleasing exhaustion, or those creeping thoughts of “I should be further along”—this is your place to reset. You don’t have to carry it all alone. August is your chance to ground yourself, breathe, and remember: Recovery happens one choice, one day, one moment at a time.
Choose Your Day. Catch What Matters.

🎤 Topic: People-Pleasing & Boundaries: Breaking the Codependency Cycle
5:30 PM PST, 7:30 PM CST, 8:30 PM EST
In this recovery panel, we’re diving into one of the most exhausting traps in recovery—people-pleasing and codependent patterns. Many of us learned to survive by managing other people’s emotions, saying “yes” when we meant “no,” and ignoring our own needs. But these patterns don’t just drain your energy—they sabotage your sobriety and mental health. Together, we’ll explore how to break the cycle, set boundaries that protect your peace, and stop feeling guilty for taking care of yourself. If you’re ready to stop overgiving and start honoring your own recovery, this conversation is for you.

🎤 Topic: Mental Health Routines that Actually Stick
5:30 PM PST, 7:30 PM CST, 8:30 PM EST
In this recovery panel, we’re getting real about mental health routines—the ones that actually work and the ones we wish would. It’s easy to get stuck in cycles of all-or-nothing thinking, setting up routines that are either too rigid to maintain or too loose to make an impact. We’ll talk about creating sustainable habits that support emotional sobriety, reduce anxiety, and help you stay connected to your recovery goals. This isn’t about perfect morning routines or trendy self-care hacks—it’s about finding simple, realistic practices that fit your life and protect your peace, even on the hard days.

🎤 Topic: HALT in Action: Mastering Hunger, Anger, Loneliness, and Tiredness
5:30 PM PST, 7:30 PM CST, 8:30 PM EST
In this recovery panel, we’re breaking down one of the simplest—but most powerful—sobriety tools: HALT. Hunger, Anger, Loneliness, and Tiredness are four triggers that can sneak up and wreck your emotional sobriety if you’re not paying attention. We’re going beyond theory and diving into real-life strategies for spotting HALT before it spirals into relapse thinking. You’ll learn practical ways to check in with yourself, reset in the moment, and build a recovery routine that keeps you balanced and sane—especially when life gets loud. If you’ve ever found yourself overwhelmed and thinking “how did I get here?”, this session will give you the tools to HALT and shift.

🎤 Topic: Labor Day Weekend Game Plan: How to Stay Sober When Everyone’s Celebrating
5:30 PM PST, 7:30 PM CST, 8:30 PM EST
In this recovery panel, we’re creating a real-world game plan for navigating Labor Day weekend sober, sane, and centered. Holiday weekends can be loaded with triggers—family gatherings, BBQs, parties, and the pressure to “let loose” can make it feel like you’re the only one not drinking or using. But you don’t have to white-knuckle it or isolate to stay safe. We’ll share practical strategies to handle social situations, protect your emotional sobriety, and stay connected to your recovery no matter what’s happening around you. If you’ve ever felt anxious or “on guard” heading into a long holiday weekend, this session will give you the tools and mindset to face it with confidence.
