Aa is ranked as one of the top ways to meet someone. It's mostly men who come into aa meetings and, whether they work the steps or not, whether they're really one of us or not, they are preying on women in there, not just in a like.
What really happens in an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting? In this episode of 'The Addiction and Mental Health Podcast', hosts Adam Fout and Michael Palma sit down with mental health advocate Samantha Mineroff to pull back the curtain on AA. Ever wondered if AA's approach is a one-size-fits-all solution or if it has its own set of pitfalls? This episode dives into those very questions.
Adam and Michael share their personal experiences with AA, discussing the highs and lows of the program. Samantha doesn't hold back either, asking the tough questions about the program's effectiveness and its controversies. The trio also sheds light on the concept of sponsorship and why having a support system is crucial for recovery. They don't just stop at AA; they explore alternatives and emphasize the importance of seeking help that fits your unique needs.
Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about AA, this episode offers a candid look at one of the most well-known addiction recovery programs. Tune in for an honest discussion that balances the pros and cons of AA, giving you a clearer picture of what to expect.
