Love and Sobriety: Navigating Romantic and Sexual Ideals at The CCC

I think sometimes you can get so rigid to where you really don't have an openness. Um, because I don't know about you, but oftentimes I don't always know what's best for me. Um, I often don't have the imagination or I haven't quite figured it out yet, and if I'm open enough, maybe that thing will come into my life for that person and I'd be like, oh wait, that's, that's kind of what I was missing or that's kind of what I was looking for.
Ever wondered how love and sobriety mix? In this episode of 'At The CCC', hosts Anthony, Bonnie Violet, and Lou Lou dive into the complex world of romantic and sexual ideals within the recovery journey. Broadcasting from the heart of San Francisco's Castro Country Club, this lively trio isn't afraid to tackle the tough questions. Do you have a 'bad picker' or are you just unlucky in love? Can you have great sex and a loving relationship while staying sober?
These are just some of the questions they explore. The conversation kicks off with a reading from the Big Book, setting a thoughtful tone. The hosts share their own experiences with messy relationships, shedding light on how emotions and past traumas can shape our romantic lives. They stress the importance of honesty and clear communication, both with ourselves and our partners. But it's not all about the struggles. The benefits of being single in recovery also get a spotlight.
The hosts discuss how this time can be used to create personal romantic and sexual ideals, emphasizing the need to stay open-minded and flexible. Trusting your intuition plays a big role too. Listeners will find the discussion both relatable and insightful, with plenty of takeaways for their own lives. Whether you're single, in a relationship, or somewhere in between, this episode offers valuable perspectives on love and sobriety.
