“There's no shame in having the disease of alcoholism, but it's our behavior that is shameful and we have to deal with that.”

In this episode of the AA Grapevine Podcast, hosts Don and Sam sit down with Becca to talk about her path to overcoming shame and reclaiming her life. Becca opens up about how societal judgments around sobriety initially made her hesitant to join AA meetings.
But, as she shares, finding the right group and embracing individual solutions helped her turn things around completely.

Her story is both moving and relatable, offering hope to anyone grappling with addiction. The episode also features a special segment called '#Heardinameeting', where Becca and the hosts share some light-hearted and insightful stories from AA meetings.
