🧵 September is #NationalRecoveryMonth in the US (leading up to International Recovery Day on Sep 30). When I post on Mastodon, it's more often about the technology side of research. This month, I'd like to spool up a thread about the #addiction #recovery side of things.
Please help me out! Are there topics you are interested in hearing about, at the intersection of technology use and addiction recovery? Ideas for how social technologies might be useful for people who are exploring recovery?
Get a rotisserie chicken and make broth with whatever parts you don't eat (plus other broth stuff*). Refrigerate it in a glass container for iced tea (I call it "meat tea" because its meaty). Then make rice, soup, or whatever culinary masterpieces that require broth. When it runs low or is past its prime, get another rotisserie chicken and make more meat tea.
*other broth stuff usually includes celery or carrots that I have good intentions of eating, but never finish

I didn't intend to make this post 🌐 (public federated), but Android's Mastodon app settings don't have the 🔓 option... just: public, followers only, people I mention. I did manage to figure out the content warning feature, though!
