My recommendation would be: you know if there are newcomer meetings, find a newcomer meeting and be able to ask what that should look like.
Ever wondered what it's like to be pushed into recovery as a teenager? Steven's story on the Boiled Owl AA Recovery Podcast takes you through his unique journey, starting at the tender age of 13. Forced into an all-boys recovery facility, Steven initially resisted but eventually found solace in the 'Living Sober' book, which he found relatable and easy to understand.
He also connected deeply with LGBT stories in the Big Book, despite the nearest LGBT meeting being a daunting 45 miles away. Steven's home group now is the Wednesday Night Book Study in Alejo, Palm Springs, CA, and his sobriety date is April 24, 2018. Through candid conversations, Steven discusses the importance of fellowship, routine, and having a sponsor.
He shares how transformative experiences in sobriety shaped his path and offers practical advice on finding the right sponsor and committing to the steps. Whether you're new to AA or a long-time member, Steven's story is a testament to the power of community and personal growth. Tune in for an episode that blends heartfelt anecdotes with valuable insights, leaving you inspired and hopeful.
