Jim Mick's Path: Exploring AA Alternatives and Embracing Sobriety
“Recovery should be the ability to recreate your life any way you want, now that you've gotten the addiction out of the way, and I think what that entails is taking a hard look at yourself and making some changes in your behavior.”

In this episode, Brett Lovins sits down with Jim Mick, who has found his own unique route to recovery without ever stepping foot in an AA meeting. Jim opens up about his experiences with LifeRing Recovery and Recovery Dharma, shedding light on how these alternatives have shaped his journey.

Through candid conversation, Jim underscores the importance of community and connection in recovery meetings, emphasizing that change in behavior is key to building a new life free from addiction. His story is a testament to the joy and fulfillment that can be found in a sober life, and the ever-present risk of relapse.
