Lisa and Julie on Navigating Controversy: Staying Sane in a Chaotic World
“Our alcoholism is the common bond that unites us...It used to bother me at a brick and mortar meeting when people would come in on election night and they'd start talking about what they voted. For fellowship, for a shared experience, and obviously people start to talk about outside issues.”
Feeling overwhelmed by today's endless debates and controversies? Lisa and Julie from '2 Sober Chicks' dive into this very topic, offering a refreshing perspective on how to maintain your sanity. In this episode, they unpack Tradition 10 of Alcoholics Anonymous, which advises members to steer clear of public controversies. This tradition isn't just about keeping the peace; it's a vital tool for unifying members and staying focused on the shared goal of sobriety.
Lisa and Julie share their personal experiences with this principle, discussing how it helps them stay grounded and avoid the 'boxing ring' of life's endless arguments. They also touch on the difference between being 'recovered' and 'recovering', and how learning from people who challenge you can be a game-changer.
One memorable quote from the episode is, 'It's boring as hell when everybody agrees with you, and some of the greatest teachings I've learned are by people who have pushed my buttons'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in the AA community or anyone struggling with addiction. It offers practical advice, heartfelt support, and a reminder that sometimes, the best way to stay sane is to simply listen.
