But the thing about AA is they don't have the cornerstone on spiritual growth and I think there's a lot of fear implied in AA, where, if you don't do it the right way, you don't do it the aa way, you're going to drink and die, and that's kind of a scary way to run an operation.
What happens when you dedicate over two decades to a recovery program, only to find true healing elsewhere? David Darmstaeder's story is a fascinating exploration of this very question. In this episode of Safe Recovery, David opens up about his 21 years in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and why he ultimately chose to leave. His journey took an unexpected turn when he ventured into the Peruvian jungle to experience Ayahuasca, a powerful plant medicine.
David credits this alternative healing method with providing more profound insights and relief than his entire time in AA. This episode is not just about David's personal story; it also raises important questions about the limitations of traditional recovery programs and the need for more diverse, supportive communities. If you've ever wondered about the effectiveness of non-traditional recovery methods or felt isolated within conventional systems, David's experiences offer a compelling perspective.
Tune in to hear about the transformative power of Ayahuasca and why some people find it more beneficial than established recovery programs.
