Our society says that you have to check off this and this and this many social engagements to be what you know. So I kind of, to be honest with you, found that I'm the kind of person that's totally comfortable being completely alone, and I, yeah, yeah, I'm kind of like a good balloon tuner, but you're so, uh, outgoing like i. Really I can't believe we still haven't met in person yet.
What happens when you decide to leave AA, but your entire social circle consists of fellow 'steppers'? In this episode of Safe Recovery, Monica Richardson dives into the emotional and practical hurdles faced by those stepping away from Alcoholics Anonymous. Monica shares heartfelt stories and practical advice on how to rebuild your life and social network outside of AA's tight-knit community.
She touches on the impact of AA culture on personal growth and communication, and how it can sometimes lead to self-obsession. But fear not, Monica offers a treasure trove of strategies to help you thrive in your new journey. From picking up new hobbies and interests to finding joy in solitude, she emphasizes the importance of creating a support system that works for you.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the tricky waters of post-AA life, offering a fresh perspective on recovery and self-empowerment.
