Arielle MC: Navigating Al-Anon and LGBTQ Life with Grace

The great side service ended and people came to hug each other. I have become so spoiled by this program giving and receiving hugs, real hugs, even from strangers after a meeting, smiles, genuine appreciation and people pumping compassion and kindness with each other to be faced with this incredible falseness, this utter lack of empathy and nice made my heels sink into the grass as I steadied myself for false tears over,-emotionality, caustic commentary and one-armed hugs.
Imagine facing the complexities of life, relationships, and recovery all while navigating the unique challenges of being part of the LGBTQ community. In this episode of Sober Cast, Arielle MC from Oakland, CA, brings us into her world as an 11-year member of Al-Anon.
