I feel obligated to respect their privacy and their anonymity. The last part you made too, about anonymity. If I don't think everybody says, well, aa doesn't work, you know the person who might say that is probably an active alcoholic who's scared to death of quitting drinking and they'll find an excuse to not come no matter what usually.
Ever wondered how to maintain anonymity while seeking recovery support during a pandemic? In this episode of Beyond Belief Sobriety, Benn and John sit down with Bobby C. from Huntington Beach, California, who has been sober since February 27, 1984. Bobby’s journey through both AA and SMART Recovery meetings offers a unique perspective on the balance between traditional and secular recovery methods.
His candid discussion covers the challenges of maintaining anonymity in a digital age and the importance of personal responsibility and community support. Bobby also tackles the often tricky relationship between recovery and religion, offering insights that are both thought-provoking and inspiring. The episode doesn’t shy away from addressing the dangers of dogmatism in recovery programs, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating their own sobriety journey.
Tune in to hear Bobby’s raw and honest reflections that might just spark new thoughts on your own path to recovery.
