Finding Your Path: Sobriety Beyond AA with Josh and Monique
We don't have anything against AA, but we just needed more than the one hour a day meetings, especially for me. I'd be fine All Day, I'd get through work, I'd even get through the meeting, but it was after when I was alone that I would reach for my vice, which was alcohol at the time.
Ever felt like the traditional route to sobriety just doesn't fit? Josh and Monique Robinson get it. In their podcast, 'Alternatives to AA', this dynamic duo brings over five years of personal experience to the table, sharing insights and strategies that go beyond the usual one-hour meetings. They’re not here to bash AA but to fill in the gaps for those who need more support throughout the day.
From practical self-care tips to effective communication strategies, Josh and Monique cover it all. Josh opens up about his own struggles, like how he'd manage to get through work and AA meetings, only to find himself reaching for a drink when he was alone. This episode dives deep into how self-care—both physical and emotional—plays a crucial role in staying sober.
They also explore the power of nature in recovery, offering tips on how a simple walk in the park can help manage triggers and reduce stress. Communication is another key topic, as they discuss how to set boundaries and talk openly with friends and family about your journey. If you’re navigating relationships while staying sober, their advice is gold.
But perhaps most importantly, Josh and Monique share their personal experiences with triggers, providing actionable advice on how to identify and cope with them. Whether you're looking for alternatives to AA or just some extra tools for your sobriety toolkit, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
