23|Music, Art, and Community: Building Coping Skills for Long-Term Sobriety

In this episode of Recovery on Rucker, April and Jack dive into the power of identifying healthy coping mechanisms in recovery. From music, journaling, art, and gardening to the community support of programs like IOP and Genesis, they share how discovering joy and creativity can replace old habits and sustain sobriety. They also get real about unhealthy substitutes—like food and cigarettes—and how experimenting with new outlets helps people in recovery find balance, structure, and resilience.
