Taking Control: Liv and Tiffany on AA and Self-Directed Recovery

We're just here to say that hey, when you're adopting this language, maybe think twice. Is that the right phrase for you? Every time someone finds recovery and their life has been saved, regardless of whether they believe that they saved it, whether AA saved it, that's really the beautiful thing, and we want more and more people to be able to access that.
Ever pondered if Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) really saved your life or if you did the heavy lifting yourself? In this eye-opening episode of 'Breaking Free: Your Recovery. Your Way.', hosts Liv and Tiffany dive into this very question. They reflect on their personal journeys with AA, examining the common phrase, 'AA saved my life'. While acknowledging the vital role AA played in their early recovery, they emphasize the importance of personal autonomy in truly transforming one's life.
Liv shares her belief that while AA provided the tools and community she needed, it was ultimately her own actions that drove her recovery. She cautions against becoming overly dependent on any one program, stressing that real empowerment comes from within. Tiffany adds her insights, discussing how language can shape our self-esteem and recovery journey. The duo also explores the potential pitfalls of attributing all credit to AA, suggesting it might undermine one's sense of self-worth and independence.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone questioning their recovery path or seeking to balance external support with self-reliance. Tune in to discover how Liv and Tiffany navigated their paths to sobriety and how you can forge your own.
