We have to tolerate listening to dude's same story. You know dude's going to tell that story the same way every time. No, he ain't in your brain. You're hearing it the same way every time. His brain he's saying it the same way every time. But every time we tell a story, we fall shorter and shorter with the people that we go to meetings with Every Day, once a week, once a month.
Ever wondered why you keep hearing the same stories in recovery meetings? Joe Singer dives into this very topic in his 'Go tell it in the Meeting' episode of the Cuttin Grass podcast. Joe, who shares his personal journey with sobriety, opens up about the importance of repetition when sharing experiences in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings.
He candidly admits that he used to take shortcuts when recounting his story, leaving out details that could be crucial for newcomers seeking hope and guidance. Joe emphasizes that sharing isn't just about the storyteller; it's about those who are listening for the first time. By repeating our stories, we ensure that every detail is captured, making it easier for newcomers to relate and find inspiration.
Joe also touches on the need for empathy within the recovery community, reminding us that hearing the same stories over and over isn't a chore but a necessity. It helps build a supportive environment where everyone feels included and understood. If you're curious about how to make your storytelling more impactful or want to understand the value of repetition in recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
