Ever felt like the traditional AA route just doesn't fit your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Recovery Rocks', co-hosts Lisa Smith and Tawny Lara tackle the hot topic of nonreligious rehab options. Inspired by a New York Times article, they dive into why it's essential to have diverse recovery paths beyond Alcoholics Anonymous and its Higher Power concept.
Lisa shares her own experiences with AA's 'take what you need, leave the rest' mentality and how she found solace in alternative programs like SMART Recovery and She Recovers. Tawny and Lisa also chat about the idea of 'powerlessness' and even touch on the surprising fact that AA's founder, Bill W., was a fan of LSD! From personal anecdotes to broader insights, this episode is all about finding what works best for you.
Plus, the Music Minute features tunes from REM, Ariana Grande, Lil Nas X, and 'Spirit in the Sky'. Whether you're new to recovery or looking for fresh perspectives, this episode offers a candid and supportive discussion on the evolving landscape of sobriety.
