Slogans and Sobriety: Julie's AA Experience in South Carolina
Everything we want happens as a result of action and faith.
Ever wondered how AA meetings differ between countries? In this episode of '2 Sober Chicks', Julie takes us on a fascinating journey to South Carolina, where she attended an AA meeting during a recent trip. Used to the Canadian approach, Julie was intrigued by the unique slogans she encountered, like 'action is the magic word' and 'ain't it grand to be sober'.
These slogans were a refreshing change from what she's used to back home in Toronto, where the lines between religion and spirituality are more distinct. Julie shares her observations on how these differences reflect broader cultural attitudes toward recovery. She also touches on the importance of closed meetings for newcomers, offering a less intimidating environment for those just starting their sobriety journey. Julie wraps up with a heartfelt reminder about the importance of finding support wherever you are.
This episode offers an engaging look at how different regions approach the same goal: staying sober and supporting each other through recovery.
