Within the rooms, you got to experience: hey, this is the kind of man I am, and I don't need to apologize for this.
Picture walking into a room where you feel like the odd one out. That's the experience Alan and Tom share as men in Overeaters Anonymous (OA). In this episode of the Recovery Crone Podcast, Nicole dives into their unique journeys. Alan, with three decades in OA, and Tom, with five years under his belt, open up about navigating a space where men are often the minority.
They talk about their initial hesitations, the struggle to find male sponsors, and how they've managed to break down gender stereotypes along the way. This episode is a candid conversation about emotional intelligence, the importance of gender-specific sponsorship, and the power of vulnerability in recovery. Whether you're a man in OA or someone interested in understanding the dynamics of gender in recovery spaces, this discussion offers valuable insights and heartfelt stories that resonate deeply.
