You know, the women who come in, they go to those men's meetings, have somebody, you know, a man, come to them and say: you know we're going to love you until you love yourself, and not in an inappropriate way, right, but in, you know, like a brotherly fellowship, you know way.
Ever wondered what it's like to navigate recovery as a woman? In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike and Glenn sit down with Megan, who opens up about her personal journey to sobriety. Megan shares her experiences from the moment she admitted she had an alcohol problem to finding her way through various support groups, including women’s groups and coed meetings.
She dives into the specific challenges women face in recovery, such as feeling intimidated in male-dominated AA meetings, and offers practical advice like, 'Don’t compare yourself out of the room'. Megan highlights the importance of building connections and seeking support, emphasizing how mixed meetings can provide a broader perspective and foster supportive relationships with men. She also touches on the difficulties married women might encounter when trying to form close friendships with men in recovery settings.
Throughout the conversation, Mike and Glenn share their own reflections on the significance of fellowship and the diverse approaches to recovery. This episode is packed with insights for anyone on the sober path, especially women who might be facing unique hurdles. Megan’s story is a testament to the power of community and the importance of nurturing relationships in overcoming addiction. If you or someone you know could benefit from hearing about these experiences, this episode is a must-listen.
