It's that thing about fellowship, isn't it? About getting amongst people who all of a sudden you're like: oh, I'm not the only person in the world.
Ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes of Alcoholics Anonymous? In this episode of The Kennedy Street Recovery Podcast, Clare, Deli, and Emma take you on a journey to the Houses of Parliament for an eye-opening AA presentation hosted by Dan Carden MP. This event aimed to clear up the misconception that AA is a 'secret society'. While its members remain anonymous, the organization itself is anything but hidden.
From Emma's amusing encounter with scones to inspiring talks, the day was filled with memorable moments. Sarah Flowers, a friend of the podcast, provided valuable insights into how the medical community views fellowships like AA, especially in light of the pandemic's impact on alcohol-related deaths. The discussion then broadens to other fellowships that have branched out from AA over the past 75 years, such as Al-Anon and Sex Addicts Anonymous.
The hosts highlight the importance of fellowship in recovery and how these groups support not just individuals but also their families. Wrapping up, they recommend Richard Rohr's book 'Breathing Under Water' as a valuable resource for anyone on the path to recovery. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that debunks myths and underscores the power of community support.
