AA for me is a simple program for very complicated people.
Ever wondered if there's more than one way to achieve sobriety? In this episode of 'Clear & Present', host Bryen Fulcher sits down with Patricia Ginn and Val Mondor to explore the diverse paths to recovery. Patricia, a retired municipal worker from a small Quebec village where drinking was a local pastime, shares her journey through Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
She candidly discusses the program's highs and lows, offering a raw look at what it takes to climb out of the rabbit hole of addiction. Val, a former PBS video editor who grew up in an alcoholic family, adds her perspective on repeating dysfunctional patterns and finding healthier ways to live. Together, they delve into various recovery options beyond AA, such as SMART Recovery, Women for Sobriety, and LGBTQ-focused programs.
They also touch on the importance of empathy and understanding addiction as maladaptive behavior. If you're curious about sobriety or seeking new ways to support your recovery journey, this episode is packed with valuable insights and resources. As Patricia puts it, 'there is a path for everyone'. Tune in to discover yours.
