Episode Overview

  • Non-alcoholic drinks can be valuable tools in recovery.

  • Challenging the rigidity of 12-step programs.
What if, instead of you being an alcoholic, you're a person who had struggled with alcohol?
Bobbie the Awesome is back with another thought-provoking episode of the 3-21 NoKiddin' Gambling Addiction Recovery Podcast. This time, Bobbie dives into the often-misunderstood topic of non-alcoholic drinks and their role in recovery. She challenges the traditional labels that are often placed on individuals in recovery, encouraging a fresh perspective on what it means to live beyond addiction.
Bobbie passionately argues that recovery should be about more than just abstinence - it should be about embracing life to its fullest potential. She questions the rigid structures of 12-step programs, suggesting that constantly identifying as an 'alcoholic' or 'addict' might limit one's growth and self-perception. Instead, Bobbie proposes seeing oneself as a person who has struggled with addiction, rather than being defined by it.
Through personal anecdotes and a sprinkle of humour, Bobbie inspires listeners to look beyond their past struggles and focus on the endless possibilities that recovery brings. Whether it's enjoying a concert, travelling, or simply being present in everyday moments, Bobbie reminds us that life after addiction can be vibrant and fulfilling. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to redefine their recovery journey and embrace a life full of opportunities.
