“You know, the women who come in, they go to those men's meetings, have somebody, you know, a man, come to them and say: you know we're going to love you until you love yourself, and not in an inappropriate way, right, but in, you know, like a brotherly fellowship, you know way.”
Ever wondered what it's like to navigate recovery as a woman? In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike and Glenn sit down with Megan, who opens up about her personal journey to sobriety.
