What if Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) doesn’t work for you? This episode of Through the Glass Recovery dives into the reality that AA isn’t the perfect fit for everyone. Hosts Julie and Steve are joined by guests Rich, Joanne, and Rachel to share their unique experiences with AA and other recovery methods. Joanne, who has been sober since 1991, found that AA didn’t meet all her needs and supplemented it with additional support.
Rich, who relapsed after initially finding community in AA, eventually found a secular group that resonated more with his beliefs. Rachel, a therapist and business owner, discovered her path to sobriety through reading and building a supportive community outside of AA. The episode highlights the importance of finding the right recovery path for you, whether it’s through AA, another support group, or a combination of resources.
It’s a reminder that recovery is deeply personal and what works for one person might not work for another. If you’re struggling to find your way, this episode offers hope and practical advice to help you on your journey. Tune in to hear these honest and inspiring stories that prove there are many roads to recovery.
