Unexpected Encounters: Tara Boyce’s AA Journey with a Familiar Face
“Being in-step fellowship has allowed me to learn how to love people again, and not in a romantic context and not in a kind of mutual obligation context.”
Imagine walking into your first AA meeting and spotting your friend's 'cool dad'—the very one who used to hand you booze as a teenager. That's exactly what happened to Tara Boyce, and it's just the beginning of her story in this episode of 'Addicted to Recovery: The Interactive Memoir'. Tara takes us through the awkwardness, the irony, and the raw honesty of her early days in recovery.
She doesn't sugarcoat the flaws in 12-step programs but also highlights the gems of humanity she found there. Tara's reflections are both humorous and sobering, reminding us that everyone in those rooms is a work in progress. Whether you're new to recovery or a seasoned veteran, Tara's candid recounting of her journey will make you laugh, think, and maybe even feel a bit more generous towards yourself and others.
Tune in for an episode that's as relatable as it is eye-opening.
