Finding Your Tribe: Alternative Support Groups for Recovery

There are all kinds of ways to find support in recovery. From just following hashtags to meeting new friends to getting more involved, opportunities are all over.
Ever felt like the traditional 12-step program just isn't your jam? Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara, the dynamic duo behind the 'Recovery Rocks' podcast, have got you covered. In this episode, they dive into the world of alternative support groups for recovery. Whether you're a fan of hashtags or looking to meet new friends, there are countless ways to find support on your journey to sobriety.
Lisa and Tawny chat about various peer support groups that might not be on your radar yet. From Al-Anon and Codependents Anonymous to newer groups like She Recovers and Seltzer Squad, they cover a wide range of options. They even discuss harm reduction strategies and the concept of being 'California sober'. The episode is packed with practical advice and personal reflections, making it clear that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery.
The hosts emphasize the importance of finding what works for you and building a recovery toolbox that suits your needs. And for a fun twist, their Music Minute/Pop Culture Minute features Hulu's 'The Bear,' which includes Al-Anon. If you're curious about exploring different paths to recovery and want to know more about the abundance of free resources available online, this episode is a must-listen.
It's an eye-opener for anyone looking to personalize their recovery journey and find a supportive community that resonates with them.
