Recovery is a journey, and finding joy and connection along the way is an essential part of the process. For many, that means taking a closer look at work styles, hobbies, and relationships. And while change can be a process, our team can help – starting with some fun group activities for adults in recovery.
Check out top 7 activity options for a positive and fulfilling lifestyle.
Top 7 Fun Group Activities for Adults in Recovery
-
Art Therapy & Creative Writing
Art therapy provides a creative outlet for self-expression and can be a meaningful way for individuals in recovery to explore their emotions and experiences. Plus, participating in group art activities can promote a sense of camaraderie and mutual understanding between friends.
And if art isn’t your thing, you might enjoy free-style writing. Creativity can come in all forms – fictional storytelling to personal narratives – and you might like this form of expression more than you think.
-
Group Hiking and Camping
Sometimes, it’s good to just get away – literally.
Going on group hikes and taking quick camping trips can be a great opportunity to get active, be mindful, and build better relationships. Plus, immersing yourself in nature can provide a refreshing and grounding experience.
Whether you’re living in our Scottsdale Sober Living Apartments or our Denver Sober Living Apartments, you’ll find tons of camping sites and trails to explore.
-
Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is one of our favorite fun group activities for adults in recovery because it fosters teamwork, trust, and a sense of accomplishment. Not only does this physically challenging activity promote resilience, but it can also contribute to a positive outlook on personal growth.
There are tons of great Scottsdale rock climbing spots and climbing gyms near our sober living community in Denver, but you can always scope the area and find something that’s exactly your speed. Rock climbing is a fun way to move your body in a way that doesn’t feel like work.
