I liked about the online support groups is that, like you, there were no rules, and I felt like aa had so many rules from what I had heard and what I knew about it.
Imagine being 14 days into your sobriety journey and realizing your in-person support system has vanished. That's exactly where Betsy finds herself in this episode of 'F*cking Sober'. Struggling to stay afloat, she turns to the world of online support groups. Betsy dives headfirst into these virtual spaces, comparing the rigid structure of AA meetings to the more relaxed atmosphere of online communities.
She discovers a new kind of freedom and flexibility, but also faces the challenge of finding genuine connections through a screen. As a stay-at-home mum, Betsy juggles her daily responsibilities while trying to maintain her sobriety. She shares her coping mechanisms, which include daily sobriety guides and poetry, providing a glimpse into her inner world. The episode is enriched with music by artists like Jacob Derwin, Jon Jeremy, and Natalia Zukerman, who all have their own recovery stories.
Their contributions add a layer of depth and community to Betsy's narrative. The voice talents of Kate Segal, Otis Gray, and others bring Betsy's experiences to life, making you feel like you're right there with her. This episode is a raw and honest look at the complexities of balancing sobriety with everyday life, especially when your traditional support systems are no longer available.
Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned veteran, Betsy's journey offers valuable insights and a sense of camaraderie. Tune in to hear how she navigates the ups and downs of early sobriety in the digital age.
