It's good to go to open meetings, it's good to be able to identify and to see yourself in other people's stories or to hear yourself in other people's stories.
Have you ever felt like you're the only one struggling with alcohol? In this episode of the 'Sober Moments Podcast', Karen dives into the power of identifying as an alcoholic and how open meetings can be a lifeline. She shares her own journey, revealing how recognizing her addiction and connecting with others in similar situations transformed her path to sobriety.
Karen emphasizes the importance of listening to others' stories in open meetings, which helps break down feelings of isolation and difference. By hearing about others' experiences with loss of control and shame, attendees can see themselves in those stories and feel less alone. Karen's candid reflections highlight how crucial it is to share your own struggles and listen to others. This mutual support system is a cornerstone of staying sober one day at a time.
Karen also talks about the desperation that often leads people to join AA and how these meetings provide a space to find common ground and hope. Whether you're new to recovery or have been sober for years, Karen's insights offer a reminder that you don't have to do this alone. Tune in for an episode filled with empathy, practical advice, and a sense of community.
