Empowerment is our slogan, not powerless.
Ever wondered what it takes to challenge the status quo in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Safe Recovery', the founders of the influential blog Stinkin-Thinkin.com, known as 'friend the girl' and MA, share their journey and mission. They dive into the core philosophy behind their work: empowerment over powerlessness. The conversation is lively and thought-provoking, touching on the limitations and potential harm of traditional AA advice, especially in early recovery.
They also discuss the often-closed nature of AA meetings and the critical need for transparency and accountability within these spaces.
One of the most compelling parts of the episode is when 'friend the girl' candidly speaks about the absurdity of some AA practices, saying, 'This is absurd, like this is really bad to listen to every day or even once a week.' Their discussion doesn't stop at criticism; they explore a range of alternative treatments and approaches that focus on individual empowerment and personal growth.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling out of place in traditional recovery settings or seeking new ways to support themselves or loved ones on the path to sobriety. It's all about finding what works best for you and embracing a recovery journey that feels right.
