The treatment of addiction can be extraordinarily expensive and, for most Americans, simply unaffordable - 12-step fellowships fill the needs of millions who need help and can't afford it, and because of this, men and women live happy, joyous, and free, who otherwise would have died in misery.
Ever wondered how 12-step programs really work? In this episode of John's Task Podcast, John kicks things off by introducing himself and setting the stage for what you can expect from the series. He dives into the history of Alcoholics Anonymous, explaining how it all began and why it's been a lifeline for so many.
But that's not all—John also unpacks the structure and function of these groups, shedding light on the importance of anonymity and how it helps members feel safe and supported. John gets personal too, sharing his own journey to sobriety and how 12-step groups have been a cornerstone in his recovery. One of the most eye-opening parts of this episode is when John talks about the financial setup of these groups.
Unlike traditional treatment programs, 12-step groups operate on voluntary contributions from their members. There's no paid staff, no accumulating savings—just people helping people. Any leftover funds at the end of the month go to other non-profits, making these groups accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. Whether you're new to recovery or have been sober for years, John's insights offer a refreshing perspective on the power of community and mutual support.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand more about recovery and the unique structure of 12-step programs. Tune in to John's Task Podcast and take the first step on your own journey to sobriety.
