My sponsor, very early on, he understood a lot of people's dislike of the slogans, but he also taught me that sometimes when you're in crisis or you're just really sort of struggling or feeling disconnected, you may not be able to entirely work the program, right? You may not to be able to be in the steps or be of service, but he said, you can work the slogans. For me, what I took that as is let's just break this down into the smallest digestible piece of recovery I can take in.
Have you ever rolled your eyes at a cliché slogan, only to find it strangely comforting later on? In this episode of 'Factory Settings', Bridget Phetasy and her co-host, Jeren Montgomery, dive into the slogans of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). These catchy phrases are more than just words—they're lifelines for many on the path to recovery. Bridget and Jeren share their own experiences with these slogans, from initial skepticism to eventual appreciation.
They break down why some slogans hit home while others miss the mark, and how these simple sayings can provide strength in moments of crisis. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a fresh look at the power of words in the journey to sobriety.
