Finding Light in Dark Times: Grief and Sobriety on The Boiled Owl

The support from the fellowship, and even in the family there was more laughter this time, and that's the thing that I've noticed about alcoholics anonymous and all the support that it gives, is that there is a lot of laughter, even in tragedy, and I find that to be a healing balm for me.
Grief is a heavy burden, but how do you carry it while staying sober? In this heartfelt episode of The Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Chris and Alex to tackle the complex topic of loss. Initially set to discuss the pain of losing loved ones, the conversation takes on additional layers due to the COVID-19 crisis. Yet, amidst the sorrow, they find moments to laugh and reflect on their sobriety journeys.
