Rediscovering Joy: Embracing Fun in Sobriety with AA Grapevine
Connection is such a big part of the opposite, the opposite of addiction. Right connection, connectedness, yeah, yeah.
What if sobriety wasn't just about abstaining from alcohol but also about rediscovering joy and laughter? In this episode of AA Grapevine's Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Grapevine Senior Editor Jon W. and story contributor Brian S. to chat about their new book, 'Fun in Sobriety'. The conversation takes a lively turn as they share personal stories and insights into how they've found new ways to enjoy life without alcohol.
From woodworking to discovering new hobbies, the guests highlight how creativity and community play pivotal roles in their recovery journeys. Brian S. even shares how his newfound passion for woodworking not only helped him stay sober but also led to starting his own business. The episode is peppered with anecdotes from other AA members like Christopher and Meg, who call in to share their own fun experiences in sobriety.
This episode isn't just for those in recovery but also for anyone looking for a dose of inspiration and a reminder that life can be both fun and fulfilling without alcohol. It's a testament to the power of connection, humor, and self-discovery in transforming one's journey to sobriety.
