Breaking Free: A Safe Space for Ex-12 Step Members
Alternative healing, both spiritual and secular to create our better selves is what we are all about. Living Happy Lives, sober or with moderation. You choose...
Ever felt like traditional 12-step programs just weren't cutting it for you? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Safe Recovery', the host dives into the launch of a new anti-AA site designed specifically for bloggers who need a troll-free zone to share their experiences. Created by UK blogger mfc66, this site offers a haven for ex-Steppers, ex-Al-Anon members, and anyone else who's left the 12-step world behind.
Here, they can openly discuss the problems they've encountered within the 12-step culture and its surprising reach into government, entertainment, and healthcare. The episode features guests Mary Ellen Barnes, Ed Wilson, and Gabrielle Glasser, who share their personal journeys and thoughts on the need for empowerment over powerlessness. They also touch on alternative healing methods, harm reduction strategies, and individualized programs for tackling alcohol dependency.
As an added bonus, you'll hear about Harville Hendricks' 'Getting the Love You Want', a guide for improving how we talk and listen in our relationships. If you're looking for fresh perspectives and practical advice on recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
