Seeing Through New Eyes: Brin's Journey from AA to Al-Anon

I saw that, boom, there's my solution. You know, we're here for you when you're ready, kind of thing, and I'm wondering if that's true and what your experience with that is, because I feel like it would almost be a little bit easier to get into aa in some ways, in my opinion, because more people will be like your newcomer.
Imagine trying to understand the world of addiction from both sides of the fence. That's exactly what guest leader Brin brings to the table in this episode of 'Cross Talk'. Corey and Claire sit down with Brin, who shares their unique experience of transitioning from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) to Al-Anon. The conversation is a candid exploration of the similarities and differences between addicts and codependents, offering a fresh perspective that could be a game-changer for many listeners.
Brin opens up about the challenges faced in both programs, shedding light on the benefits of the 12-step process in Al-Anon and the crucial role of a higher power. The trio doesn't shy away from tough topics like codependency, arrogance, and self-righteousness, making this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of recovery.
Corey and Claire’s dynamic 'Cross Talk' segment adds another layer of depth, as they dig into Brin's story and ask those burning questions you’ve always had but never got to ask in meetings. The episode is sprinkled with moments of humor and genuine connection, making it not just informative but also engaging. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of camaraderie that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Tune in to hear Brin's journey and discover how continuous growth and learning can transform your own path to recovery.
