The reason I had that rant is I heard somebody speak who just loves aa and thinks that it's like you can replace church by going to these meetings. I had to deprogram the stuff that was still still in me deeply entrenched.
Imagine dedicating over three decades to a recovery program, only to realize it wasn't the right fit for you. In this episode of 'Safe Recovery', stop13stepinaa opens up about her 36-year experience in AA and why she eventually sought out other healing methods. She candidly shares how, after repeatedly working through the steps, she found them lacking and sometimes even harmful, especially for a young teen like herself.
At just 22 years old and four years sober, she embarked on a quest for real answers and genuine help. She talks about the books that played a crucial role in her healing journey, starting with Og Mandino's 'The Greatest Secret in the World' and moving on to Harville Hendrix's 'Getting the Love You Want'. Alongside reading, she explored various spiritual healings and therapeutic practices that helped her address deep-seated emotional pain.
Through her journey, she discovered the importance of recognizing childhood trauma and the value of professional therapy. This episode is not just about her personal story; it's a treasure trove of alternative healing methods. From guided meditation to rage work, stop13stepinaa emphasizes the significance of individuality in recovery. She also delves into breaking bad habits, overcoming codependency, and ultimately realizing that she was never broken.
For anyone feeling out of place in traditional recovery settings or searching for new ways to heal, this episode offers a refreshing perspective. It's a heartfelt conversation filled with practical advice and personal anecdotes that could inspire you to take control of your own healing journey.
