Your sobriety isn't worth hundreds of lives, it's just not.
Imagine facing the challenges of sobriety while the world is in lockdown. In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, hosts John, Angela, and Benn come together to talk about the unique hurdles that the Covid-19 pandemic has thrown at AA groups and their members. With stay-at-home orders in place, traditional face-to-face meetings have become a thing of the past, replaced by online gatherings that bring their own set of challenges and opportunities.
The trio dives into how these changes have affected the community, sharing personal anecdotes and practical advice on staying connected and disciplined in recovery. They discuss the emotional toll of isolation and the importance of finding new ways to reach out for support. One powerful quote from the episode drives home a crucial point: 'Your sobriety isn't worth hundreds of lives, it's just not'.
This sentiment emphasizes the need to take responsible actions and adapt to ensure that sobriety remains a priority without putting others at risk. The conversation also touches on the difficulties faced by newcomers to sobriety during these unprecedented times. How do you find your footing when you can't meet people face-to-face?
The hosts offer insights into making the most of online recovery groups and meetings, stressing that even though the format has changed, the support and community are still very much alive. Whether you're a long-time member of AA or someone new to the journey of sobriety, this episode provides valuable perspectives on navigating these challenging times. It's a reminder that while the world may have changed, the need for connection and support in recovery remains as vital as ever.
