It s important when you’re in a 12 step meeting to introduce yourself in the way that they do it in that fellowship. For example typically, you do not want to introduce yourself as an alcoholic 'and a' addict in an AA meeting or as an addict 'and a' alcoholic in an NA meeting.
Ever felt like you're walking on eggshells when introducing yourself at a recovery meeting? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The High Cost of Anonymity', hosts Preston Moore and K Preston Moore tackle the delicate art of introductions in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings. It’s all about striking a balance between staying true to your own story and respecting the traditions of the fellowship you're attending.
Imagine you're in an AA meeting, and you introduce yourself as an alcoholic 'and a' addict. Or vice versa in an NA meeting. It might seem like a small detail, but it can actually stir up some serious controversy. The hosts dive into why these traditions exist and how they help create a focused and supportive environment for everyone involved. They also share tips on how to navigate these tricky waters without feeling like you're compromising your own truth.
You'll hear real-life anecdotes and practical advice on how to share your experiences in a way that honors the room's guidelines while still being authentic. It's about finding that sweet spot where your story can resonate without ruffling feathers. This episode is perfect for anyone who’s ever felt the tension of wanting to be honest about their journey while also fitting into the structured format of 12-step meetings.
Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, this episode offers valuable insights into the unspoken rules of AA and NA meetings. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of these communities and learn how to share their story more effectively.
