Michael Stoller on Finding Support and Healing in AA Meetings
It's something that reminded me again why I do these podcasts that I share like that all the time with my men's group, with my different groups, with my family, with my friends. I'm just open and I'm vulnerable and share those things that I just think aren't that big a deal, but they are a big deal.
